Snow King engine?

Those were very common some years ago on snow blowers, and are notorious for 
needing to have the choke on in order to run, even when warmed up.  And, 
they surge and splutter nicely, especially when not under a load.

Do watch out for ethanol and the needle seat.  The seat is made of a white 
rubber that swells when soaked in ethanol, strangling fuel supply.  It is 
the seat, not the needle that is rubber.
