It sounds like air in the fuel line up to the manifold and injectors.

Hold your throttle about 1/3-1/2 open and keep it there. Hit the starter button, keep it engaged until it starts. Don't change throttle position, it will stumble and surge, it might even stall once. Restart if needed but hold a consistent 1/3-1/2 throttle. It will eventually clear in 10-20 seconds and run fine from then on.
