Its bouncing because you rev the engine

You should probably ask why its sticking
That would be because its its broken.

Image too dark to see much..Since you didn't leave much information, I will give you a generic answer, your engine speed is varying.

Either you are reviving the engine, which can easily be heard, and wasting our time or you have an issue with idle control.
