Sounds like classic early carb issues. Most early OMC's require rejetting to run on the gas we have today. I had to do a rather large jet change to my 86 140 to get it to run correctly in the mid range without it falling on it's face. Unfortunately this is a known issue with the early small bore(85-87) loopers.

Just to check that it's not going into slow mode like mine was...disconnect the temperature sensors that are in each head, electrical tape the wires just in case, run the boat and see if it still keeps you at the low rpm...don't run it for long because you want to know if your motor is overheating
Does your warning buzzer work properly because this would probably dismiss the issue if you don't hear a buzzer

FYI, 115 and 175 "eagle series" carb bodies are no longer available, carb bowls are. The Looper carb bodies(V$ and V6) are NLA as well. You can still get 90 and 150 "eagle Series" carbs. IF you have an OMC with plastic carbs, take care of them
