Why does an engine hunt? It starts well, idles well, but as soon as it get revs, it starts hunting.

Hunting means you're lean, especially at idle.

It's probably an air leak if it just started doing it. If that's the case, you need to find and fix it. If you know you don't have a leak, you need a richer idle jet (at a minimum).
