I have a Honda mower with a Honda GJAE-1236297 engine. It was not running, so I removed and cleaned carburetor, removed and cleaned tank, put in new air filter, sparkplug, and fuel. I did use the same gaskets, as I could not find any in town. When I start it up, it will hunt (rev up and down) for almost a minute, then it will run smoothly at 3100rpm from then on. After it has warmed up, I can shut it down and when I start it back up, it does not hunt...runs smoothly....therefore, I do not want to mess with it. Is this normal for this engine? Any comments or suggestions?
