I believe some time or another, you will have problems with the powerstart. I think it's because the flywheel wears down after numerous starts. On mine, I need to tilt to the side where the flywheel / rubber wheel is to make good contact. When the rubber wheel wears down, it gets worse. Problem went away with a new start rubber wheel. The rubber wheel gets worn off faster than using it with the 710 compared to using it with the 705 because the 710 flywheel is pretty thin and "cuts" the rubber flywheel more...
Not sure if you want to do this but it worked for me. I used the adapters that came with the 710 for the PowerStart box and found the two pieces on either side of the wheel actually caused the problem, they hit the chassis before the rubber wheel made contact with the flywheel. I used a sharp knife (like the ones used for cutting carpet) and cut 2mm off the diameter on each side. This has had no effect on the strenght of the parts.
