Ms361s flywheel has lost a few fins will this cause overheating? And a problem with the spark plug?

Depends on how many is a few. And there location. Opposite ones arnt really a problem. Only one or two tho. If they are in a line then you could have balance issues.

It could cause overheating, but I would be more worried about the imbalance. It WILL cause vibration, which COULD result in things falling off.

I do know of people who use them with fins missing, but I personally would not risk it, I want to keep my bits from falling off.

 

Find out why they shed, fix the problem and replace the flywheel.

 

edit.. sorry Rich, just a bit later than you.

I have seen crank bearings taken out by fins missing, generally two on one side will do the damage - I have knocked off the opposing fin if onlu one is missing as a cheap way of giving some form of balance on an old saw with the owners consent but generally it is best to replace the flywheel.

 

Overheaing is less of an issue.
