XJ600 Diversion Carburettor Preheating

Servus. I’m new here and hope to find an old rabbit or Häsing, which can give me tips for my problem. I live in the south of Germany and by nature I often travel in the Dolomites. Normally I drive a Triumph Explorer, but at the end of last year I saved at a sentimental moment an XJ600 S Diversion 4BR(A) year ’94 from scrapping. The moped was driven a lot but also experienced quite regular service. There were too many repairs to the previous owner. The engine runs quite round and willing, if you persuaded him to run, there he is a little bitchy, especially if it is colder 🙂 …. I am not a KfZ mechanic now, so I would certainly have to use a workshop if it were to be done around the engine. Quite a lot on the outside I like to do however myself. Meanwhile the good piece of me has e.g. new tyres, new brake discs, steel flex brake glue of course also a fresh brake fluid and new brake pads. In addition, I replaced the defective charging controller, as well as the leaking seals of petrol tap and float chamber covers. Now, however, I am faced with the problem of a defective “carburettor preheater” installation. The previous owner had already made me aware that he has been driving without it for a while. . After I have just sunk down the tank anyway and there is a spare part to buy in the bay, I thought that I would deal with the topic right away. However, I find no information about what is included in this preheater and how it works in principle – if I don’t know exactly how something works, I will leave the fingers of it… Is there vlt. jmd., who can help me here: how is the principal functioning of this preheater? g and which parts may have to be replaced to make the thing work again. Many thanks and greetings from Garmisch Robert
