Having a Solo 2350 on a Ventus 2cT, I've been annoyed that when it runs
it
constantly triggers the squelsh of the VHF-radio.

Do you also hear the interference on a handheld radio? That may help
decide if the interference is being radiated, or conducted on the fixed
radio power wiring.

A handheld radio may also help you compare the ignition noise between
various motor gliders.

Is ignition noise a problem on the ASH26 and DG 800?

I had intermittant ign noise on my DG800B. I replaced the plugs and found
one with a cracked insulator. I snugged up the metal plug caps, and replaced
one plug wire that didn't look good. (subjective judgement)
The plug wires have metallic shielding, covered w/shrink wrap, but neither
end of the shield connects to anything. Abrasion protection I guess.

The radio is free of ign noise--for now!
