hows the oil? might no be relevent at all to your situation, but when i let the oil get low in my MQ, a auto kill switch is engaged killing the engine to stop you farking it. dunno if nissan continued this feature, but mine would run for a min or so, then stop. and keep doing that till i worked out my oil was low

Not alot of information to go on, but ill have a crack.
There is a fuel cut solenoid on the carby that could be not working, and locked on. check this, remove the pin if unsure and see if problem resovles.
Check all fuel filters and air filters, remove if necessary and check.
Check for badly worn points. Replace if required.
Remove spark plugs and check. Reseat all plug leads.
Check for automatic choke sticking on etc.
Besides this, could be when it backfired it damaged the float etc.
Good luck

Just because something is new doesnt mean its perfect. Things can be faulty.
Check and recheck the cheap/easy things first

I doubt it would be this but it may be worth considering checking the fuseable link.
