Default RF interference using 42cc Petrol Engine:HELP?!?

Hi,

I'm getting RF interference using my 42cc petrol engine. The radio works fine when the engine isn't running (even if ignition power is turned on) but as soon as I start it up and get about 40 feet away with Tx the servos start jumping. I am not using any metal connectors and receiver is positioned well away from engine/ignition. I have tried moving Rx and antenna all over the place but it's not making any difference. I am using a PPM Futaba setup with a Resistor spark plug.

Anyone have a solution to this frustrating problem?
