Default Do 250's use an AC based CDI?

I read elsewhere that 250's use a DC based CDI but the one wierd thing about this Coolster that I just got makes me think it is AC based! The ignition switch has three leads. 1 is power coming in, 2 is standard DC power going on (i.e. ON) and the third is for kicking the starter. When you shut this machine off....it stays running until you hit the kill button!

The only explanation I can come up with would be that this is actually AC based CDI. The thought process is that when I kill the power, thus killing the DC based power supply, it stays running because AC power is being provided by the stator.

Anyone have any thoughts on that?
