Not sure if this applies to your set up??
Do u have the F/R cable shifter centering spring on the carbs? If so, it sounds like the kill micro switch/cables are out of adjustment, or the spring is weak & or everything needs lubricating.
When the switch is activated the engine momentarily kills to allow the lower unit gears to shift in & out of gear load free. If there is a load it won t shift. So if the kill micro switch is incorrectly switched it will possibly pop/backfire when giving it throttle when the motor is killing/shutting down.

I'm not sure, I believe the PO removed the factory setup and went to cable and deleted the micro switch, I may be mistaken (any idea on how to tell for sure?) I did find out that if I just slammed the throttle wide open after in gear and moving forward I could sometimes get her to catch and rev up, once she got past her "sticking" point she was great, but every time you went from idle in forward to giving fuel, she'd pop and die.....

Sounds like a lean pop condition. Richin up low speed idle fuel screws like picklenjim said. See if it even responds to idle fuel adjustments. Might have to jet idle circuit next jet up ?
