Yeah, I'll have a look, but I thought backfiring always points to the
ignition!!

Yeah, it sounds heaps like a fuel filter. If you find a big hill to   
drive up in low revs at WOT and it starts doing it, then that would   
help to indicate it as well. Have you put any of those carby cleaner  
products in the fuel? Sometimes I think that can help dislodge grime  
and sludge in the tank which will then clog your filter.
