    I've heard stories that square ad round plug CDI can interchange
    But I thought each had a different system or magneto?
    Please help me clear up if intact same or different apart from lug shape!
    Chinese bikes I'm talking about
    What possible issue of the 2 are mixed?

    Bump to you too!

    Maybe I missed something in translation, so I'm writing this in vain. As we all know, there are two types of CDIs on our Chinese stallions - AC and DC. Right? There can be different interface/plug and pinout on both types, so you maybe need to do some juggling with the wires to fit some CDI on your bike's wire loom.

    Don't ask me anything else - all what is about electron flow is not my cup of tea.

    I've heard people say the fit both? But then I would think it couldn't work? It must depend on the stator what it is? Either AC or DC stator? Or is it at the regulator? Making it AC or DC?

    On AC ignition, stator pumps juice straight to CDI, and on DC ignition, stator pumps juice via rectifier and battery to CDI.

    Will some CDI mishmash-ing would work - I don't.
