I have an 85 Power Ram 50. Has the electronic carb. If this is not started daily, the engine requires priming to start. The fuel bowl may be draining down. How can I fix this?
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.

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.
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

i have a 85 power ram that does the same thing I finally figured mine out.... does it act like the battery is dead when trying to start or does it just keep turning over and over but no fire??
I just R&R A Motor 3,0 In a caravan and now I dont have any fire. What did I do wrong. I chaged The coil And Destrb And dont Have any. My email add. [email protected] Thanks
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.
first thing clean battery connectors an post with baking soda an water solution an a piece of sand paper to get any rust off,keeping cables disconnected,next go under truck to where the starter is,an disconect the battery cable wire from starter an clean with sandpaper to get any debris off,check wires for cracks in the plastic covering,an check all wires leading from starter to battery an selenoid,another solution take hammer an hit starter a few times not to hard then try starting truck if that works it means you have a dead spot in your starter an need to replace it which is not hard.
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.
