Help ... I need to know how to identify which model of carburetor has installed my Mitsubishi Mighty Max 4wd 1986 with engine G54B
If it's stock...it's a Mikuni Solex Carb. There should be a metal tag bolted to the carb from factory. Grab the numbers off that to identify. Also, depending on the state you live in, you can replace the carb with a Weber. It will get better performance and the parts are easy to find. The Mikuni carb can be a headache and especially when they are as old as your truck is, 30 years. If you still can't get things figured out. Take a snap shot and post it in forum.
Anyway, check for a tag or code number on the existing carb, then we can point you in the direction you want to go in.
It will be a Mikuni 32/35 DIDTA :thumbup:
is that the same carburetor for the RAM 50 SPORT w/ the 2.6L engine & auto transmission ?Quote:

Mikes Carburetors has new factory plastic float (it's same as 1987 floats) he also has the filter that pops onto the fuel supply inlet around the needle seat ~ test the needle seat for leakage with it upside down by applying vacuum to the fuel inlet barb (make sure the float adjustment is within spec) replace gaskets O-rings 'n all softwear in the rebuild kit ~ goodluck & see my four photo albums Mikuni Rebuild...

For compliance with California CARB emissions regs, pretty sure you'd need to stick with an original stock type of carburetor, no non-stock (e.g. Weber) swaps allowed, but you can replace it with an identical unit.
In that case, and if you're sure your original carb needs a rebuild/replacement (not just cleaning and tuning), I'd go with a rebuilt Mikuni carb ready-made off the shelf if you can afford it. I gather these Mikunis are a real challenge to rebuild, even for experienced rebuilders, lots of tricky/fiddly bits and unintuitive potential pitfalls. Rebuilt carb vendors should know exactly what version of Mikuni carb your year/model/spec of truck originally had and what to supply as an identical rebuilt replacement.
