Sounds like a Direct Ignition Cassette. Not a difficult repair ( assuming that is the problem). Make certain that the new cassette has been oriented with the spark plug terminals pointing downwards ( as if it were installed on the vehicle), for app. 1/2 hour before starting the car. This is to prevent potential damage to the new cassette.
