Backfiring is usually a timing issue, but not always- if distributor wear isn't the issue, check to make sure the timing isn't jumping due to a faulty sensor (I've had this on other lifts, not Yale's per say, but you never know).
Could also be a fuel issue- does the unit always start with a backfire or are the circumstances that create it?
