It could cause vibration just like any dirt could. I think it might be more prevolent on a light weight carbon fibre spinner than an aluminum one.

Did you check the balance of the spinner & prop ?

Don't forget a single cylinder engine has vibration especially at low RPM.

A fouled spark plug could also cause vibration.

I hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply!

For balancing the prop, I have to admit I never got to balance one before. Do I need a special tool to do this? Anyways, the prop is new (Menz 23x8) and I used a gig to drill the screw holes.
