I have a new motor that has approximately 10 gallon through it. Just in the last two weeks it has started surging at mid throttle. Idle is great, top end is greatjust in mid range. Suspect I need to adjust one or both needles. Don't care to go guessing. Any previous experiences with this would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe needle settings but if it idles good and transitions good it's already adjusted, also maybe diaphragm pump check valve in the carburetor may be worn a little, I have experienced that same problem before. check this thread out

It would surge just in the mid ranges Idle was good and top end was good. rebuilding the pump in the carburetor fixed the problem. see pictures.

A fellow at my flying field had the same problem and we discovered his throttle servo was causing it.
