Sounds like an injector issue or something. With no filter on it theres a good chance they have trash in them!!
You need to put the 3pt lever all the way down and that knob under the seat needs to be opened up, it will point which direction this is but is just a "righty, loosy" knob. It almost sounds as if the pump could be deadheading as well causing you to stall out. Its not the fluid right now, so dont go change it just yet.
