there is none. The Kokusan ignitions of carbed Ducs are all the same. What you can do is go for aftermarket parts like Dyna coils. Aftermarket ignition modules only make real sense with other engine modifications.

mostly wondering because my bike has two different modules. and at low rpms the front bank will occasionally miss fire and cause it to backfire through the intake... are the pick ups adjustable or servicable? i looked through the faq page but was unable to find much on the pic ups.

two different modules ? Do you have a picture ?
The clearance pick-up to flywheel is adjustable.
The pick-up signal output is 05-06V when cranking and 1,6-1,9V at idle.
Pick-up clearance is 0,9mm +/- 0,15mm. (many places recommend 0,7-0,8mm for street and 1,0-1,5mm for race use)
If there are starting issues with cold engine the gap can be reduced by 0,2-0,3mm. In case there are issues in the high revv range the gab can be increased by 0,2-0,3mm.

Some info should be in the workshop manual, Haynes or others you can find on this forum.

The Ducati Performance CDI unit (formerly from Pederzini) has a different ignition advance curve.

I guess that would explain the low rpm stumbling

So after everything I have done to battle the sputtering at light throttle its still there, new carbs new igniters and endlessly checking wires....
here is the symptoms, light throttle no load situations the engine will stutter. . I have checked almost everything electronic starting to thing its a physical thing. Is it at all possible to the points to be loose or something..??? I tried to find an image of them but have not had much luck. .. another things is when the engine get full temp it backfires through the intake on the front cylinder. Only when hot
