well not real sure but I would check for an air restriction some where. Sounds like possible plugged air filter which would cause it to smoke and at times cause a backfire. Could be timing out, but wouldn't think that would be your issue if it was running fine before you shut it down. Its either air restriction (to much fuel not enough air) could be lean (to much air not enough fuel) or timing.

keep me posted, I would like to know what you come up with on it for future reference.
