Where is the listing from where you purchased it? Can I see it? Maybe there is a clue there. Based on the narrow format, it appears to be an AC CDI unit (~1.5"). The DC kind are more like 2" wide.

It will either work or not. I do not think it can get damaged in a few minutes of test starting (or not starting!).

FYI- a 5 pin connector is not what I have seen. Most have a 4 pin connector and another 2 pin connector, sometimes can be one connector on the bike, but 6 pins total (not all necessarily are used).
