If you drive it very little what I would recommend is to install an electric fuel pump. That way after its been sitting all you have to do is turn the key on and the pump will fill the carb.

Skipping when im driving down the road maintaining my speed, but if i have it floored or am completely out of it it runs perfectly fine.

I have a 1987 ram 50 with the 2.7l Mitsubishi g54b engine. I had the same problem and it was a restricted passage in the carb. after rebuilding the carb and extensive cleaning and blowing compressed air through every passage it was fixed.

Gas not staying in carb, when cold very hard to start

it sounds like the choke isn't closing on the carburetor when the engine is cold ( more gas, less air). normally step on gas pedal once to close choke before starting. need to find someone familiar with carburetors to help as it can be technical setting it up

88 dodge ram 50 4x4 manul trans. 2.6 mitshibishi.

the loss of power I was experiencing was because the secondary was not working. The vacuum was not strong enough to open the secondary.
I found a stronger vacuum and hooked it up there. Still need to fine tune the adjustments on the Carb. Have twice the power I had but still need adjusting.

1988 ram 50 carb needs adjustment because I threw

Attach a vacuum gauge to the manifold and a tachometer to the coil turn the adjustment needle valve in till the engine stumbles, then slowly back it out ''till you obtain the highest vacuum reading and best (steady) idle. then adjust the linkage stop screw, watching the tach for proper idle speed.
