it happens JUST as the car fires from cranking.

So i turn the key, it cranks for about 2 or 3 seconds and just as the car fires, like on the first fire "BANG" out the exaust and then the engine is running.

it backfired in the work carpark yesterday ray, scared the living crap out of a few un suspecting people :(

could it be too much fuel? i noticed when it backfired this time it was cracking a little longer then usual?

You might want to reduce the "first crank enrich" as well. I've seen backfires on starting when this value is excessive. The motor takes several revolutions to clear it, then it lights what's in the exhaust.
