Issues with slow Idle backfire on 1982 15 HP Sea King

Just found all the numbers to the motor! Purchased this with a Gamefisher last summer, used it once and it kept dying out in the lake so gave up and stored it till now. I put in new fuel, oil checked plugs. I can get the motor started now, but when I try to slow it down to engage the prop it seems to POP a few times and then stalls out. I can run it at a medium speed while not engaged but only have been able to get prop engaged once today then when I took it down to a slow speed it crapped out on me. Really would like to get this motor running because I would like to use it OR Sell this one with my old SeaGull and get a electric trolling motor. Also in on photo below it looks like there may be some part missing! There are 2 screw holes above in the photo and a round opening in the lower section of the photo! Anybody have an idea on what might go there?
