I have an 04' 250 XS. The past two mornings I have taken her out, the motor will start surging when I first put it in gear. If I start it up and leave it in neutral its ok. Is this a normal characteristic of the Mercs? After it runs for a minute or two its fine. This is my first cold season with it so just curious. Thanks.
