I drove my 710M about 50 miles Sunday and Sunday night. On Monday night I went to put it in my storage barn and nothing happens when I push the starter button. No clicking noise from starter. The horn works, all lights and blinkers flash as normal, so I believe the batteries are good.
Because of darkness I could not check out any wiring around the starter, so I guess that will be my first task? Any other ideas greatly appreciated. Pinz runs great and never had a problem starting.

My starter button did the same thing except it didn't die all at once. It started not working here and there before it just quit altogether. Just slap in a new one.

Re: Push starter Button nothing happens.
Use a test light to verify if voltage is reaching the solenoid. The test light should come on when the button is pushed and the small starter wire terminal is touched.
If the light does come on, check the ground strap on the starter lower mounting.

Thanks for the info concerning the push button, I will test it to see if juice is getting to the starter and I will also check on the ground strap.

Finally I was able to get off work and look at my Pinz. The grounding cable for the starter was loose where it grounds to the vehicle. It was covered in ground dust on both sides, I brushed it off and secured it down. The Pinz fired right up. Thanks for all your support.
