Hi, remove the point plate, inspect the mechanical advancer for free motion and return. Sometimes the springs get loose and allow too rapid of an advance, so be sure that they are bringing the weights back to rest by themselves.
Mark the point cam on the advancer base, if it is to be removed for cleaning and lubrication, otherwise there is a 50-50 change of installing it backwards which will result in a non-running condition.
Once the point plate is reinstalled, reset the initial timing to the F and LF marks respectively. That should take care of the problem.
If it doesn't, then there could be issues with gas cap venting, incorrect float level settings (there are at least 3 sets of carb calibrations) and the possibility of an air leak at the intake manifolds or the gasket where they mount to the cylinder head. Repair or replace as necessary.
It is also advisable you take it back to the dealer since it is brand new and they should be it fixed or replace it for you...
