Flymo with B & S 46s engine?

My machine starts easily but does not maintain fixed revs just keeps hunting up and down. Any ideas please.

Will be the carb diaphragm. Will need to remove the carb/tank assy, and then split the carb from the tank on a bench. Clean up the two halves and replace the diaphragm and gasket (comes as a kit from Briigs). Re-attach carb to tank- making sure you tighten the screws evenly and then re-attach to engine.
