Default YS 61ST2 heli engine surging....

Dave,

I sent this engine in and you guys checked it out last year and said it was fine. It seemed to run much
better when I got it back.

However all along I did notice some engine surging with the Futaba GV-1 governor engaged but it was slight.

Now the engine surges all buy itself without the governor engaged....and gets really bad with the governor on. So bad
that I can't fly it.

Any ideas what to check for??? What would cause the engine to not keep a consistent speed? Needle valve adjustments are
right in the ballpark of what the manual shows. Tank pressure is there. New glowplug, rear bearing, conn rod.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Michael
