Servos having eaten to much lead or Alzheimer ???
Hi, Saturnix
Servos always have little movement at power up ... that's it !
For PULSOUT, just read ( very) carefully your manual,( Pulsout section + "driving large capacitive loads" section ) and you'll discover why a simple " LowPortX.Y" before PULSIN can avoid any signal problems.
Think to let a while to the servo-amplifiers to settle ...before asking them movements. The current draw, for few ms may reach 3/4 amp per servo ...
so, the PIC must have a private regulator to work properly.
Not so bad nor to have a separate batt just to feed the servos ...
For time interval, let's say signal period must be 20 to 50 ms ... for conventionnal servos, to have enough output power ;
a period change in that interval doesn't disturb too much the servo.
note a shorter period CAN be applied to "High end" Gyro servos ( 5 to 8 ms ).
For the end, Using the internal reset of the PIC is not a good idea here ... read µChip 16F84 Datasheet for info about reset circuitry.
read you next time

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!
