Bruce,
Just a guess, but, look in TM 9-2910-226-34 Pages 3-27, 3-28, 3-29.
Look for Item H, Fuel Control Unit Assembly.
Also see page 3-35.
This part might be the cause if it is for some reason becoming sticky.
If you take it out be very careful of items J & K they fit into the back of
H and are easily lost.
If it is not being a problem after it is warmed up I'm not sure I would
worry much.

Is it doing this after long periods of un-use?

Subject: [MV] Engine "Loping"

The Hercules turbo multifuel engine on my M35A2C has developed a little
"attitude" problem. The engine will go up and down a few hundred rpm
every few seconds, rather than keep a steady idle. It sounds like a 70s
big block chevy with a high lobe cam. The strange idle did not return
after the engine warmed up. This is now the second time it has happened.
Anyone with ideas on this, or suggestions?
Thanks,
Bruce
