It all depends on how much experience you have or on how lucky you feel.
You can obviously hook it up to a gas analyzer and have the CO set. A shop can do this quickly and cheaply. Some Pelicans in you area may have one you can use.
You can search "Souk". He has a field test called the Push/Pull method in which you move the sensor plate up or down and see how the revs react.
Or you can try turning your mixture screw CCW in slight nudges, say 1/32 or 1/16 turn @ a time and see if the hunt goes away. My guess is it should after 1 or 2 of these. Be careful as one full rev is between 8 and 12% and one of the last things you want is a too lean mix.
The Bentley manual has the AAR test. I can't remember it right now, but I'm pretty sure if you search here, you will find a writeup on it.
I would try the leaning first. You can always put it right back if things don't improve.
BTW I don't know if this will help at all or not, but someone mentioned priming the system. You do this by turning on the ignition but not the engine and raise the sensor plate. You should hear the injectors start to whine. Then let the plate back down and turn off the ignition. Then try restarting the normal way. I'm curious to know if this makes any difference once the engine has already been started.
Let us know what happens.
