Google "Faraday cage" and get an education on Radio Frequency Interruption.
Most likely cause of the FM interference is a non-resistive sparkplug or a solid state ignition module that is built to less than good specification.
The simplest experiment is to place a Faraday cage around the suspected producer (Mex's screen cages). If you place the generator at an axis opposed to the radio location, you could even try a tin sheet blocking the line of sight from radio to the generator.
