A picture would help, but my best guess is its a Throttle position sensor. |

It's carb heat, to prevent icing. |

I'm not aware of any electrical connection to the Mikunis. They don't have a TPS and the carb heater is from the oil line that attaches to the float bowls as an option. |

Some Ducati Mikunis came with engine-oil carb heat (girlfriend's 900SS FE) and some came with electrical heating elements under the throttle plate (mine). |

And you will need carb heat when it's 40F and foggy or rainy. I once rode 30 miles on the interstate with the throttle stuck open from carb icing, feathering the brakes to control speed. Lost my nerve after a while, hit kill switch and pulled onto shoulder. A minute of non-operation melts the ice. That was with the Weber. Mikunis do the same until you switch the heat on. |
