850s ran SU carbs like yours. 750s had Zeniths, plus the engine number will feature the number 85 if it's an 850 & 75 if it's a 750.

Were the 750cc engines able to run unleaded or would I need to get a LRP fuel or inline lead cat? Now I know I have a 850 Do they use leaded or unleaded fuel?? |

if you have another tank, with a cap, laying around it may be cheaper to cut out and weld in into the zx. make sure tanks are well drained/vented/filled with water to eliminate a big bang.

I've always used unleaded in all my Reliant engines, with no apparent problems. Used to use a lead substitute additive but it didn't seem to make any difference so I eventually stopped using it.

i think they only use the additive in engines with cast/steel heads? alloy heads will have hardened steel valve seats.

Another eBay win, Red Powder Coated Carries  Project Resurrection (question page 5) I'll look at what ones look better with my Gold callipers and i'll put the other ones for sale on here, Also won another gearbox for £20  Project Resurrection (question page 5) I though I'll take a punt on it for the starting price and won, Between me and my friend that the 3 one we have now, so fingers crossed between all the bit we have we can make a fully working one Might even look into that mod some of you have done by moving the lever over to the left side, |

A bit fiddly getting the roll pins out that hold it in place, but makes the pedal linkages a whole lot easier. Looks like you're cornering the market in trike parts!
