That might be a lean cough which is not good. Take the spark plugs out and look at the tips. Are they dry or wet? Might want to back out the carburator set screw about an eighth turn to make it run a little richer. Would not hurt to do a decarb on the motor as well.

Does it go away as the rpm increases? If so, you may have bent reeds.
