I would be grateful for any ideas on the following:

I have a rotax with a Z16.  It has 250 hours from new.
My dynon skyview has been completely RF silent up today when during the flight i had quite a significant crackle that rose and fell with RPM.  The crackle was lower at lower rpm.  Once back on the ground i discovered that the crackle went when I switch off one mag.  And when I switched off mag the other the engine coughed as if with intermittent spark.
I have recently fitted a new prop and took the top plugs out to facilitate rotation of the prop but otherwise i have not fiddled with the ignition system.
I am assume that i have some kind of issue with the HT system.
I have been advised that rotax ignition modules rarely suffer intermittent faults - is this correct?

I have also been advised to examine the Plug caps and "renew" the connection between HT lead and plug cap cutting off 1/8 of the HT lead. 
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks
Will

Check your headset sockets are tight and have the insulation washers fitted.

Mmm not sure....before there was no crackle with the audio and the audio system is unchanged.

The plane is composite and the jacks are isolated.  But ill check that.  Its an easy task.
Thanks
