Pete,

  

 The points 447 has two separate external ignition coils  mounted on the side of the engine and also has an ignition damping box mounted  onto the pull start assembly housing.  The CDI Ducati ignition 447 only has  one external ignition coil feeding both plugs.

Henry,

 

 Your picture is a CDI (SDI) ignition system.  Here is what a point ignition system looks like

Be sure to take out both plugs and have someone really spin the engine. The spark on these things is hard to see. Ground it out of the light. Don’t ask how I know.

We removed the plugs, they were wet with fuel, we  grounded them and pulled the engine thru several times and could not see  spark. Then we checked the kill switch to make sure is was working, checks  out good. I am trying to get info on how to check out the cdi coil.  Pete

Use a new set of plugs when you are trying to see if it is firing  and do it in a dark area so you really can tell if it is firing the old plugs may have gotten fouled
