• the problem got introduced by commit 3d71883 which removed the start() method of ModbusSerialServer
• in previous pymodbus versions:

  pymodbus/pymodbus/server/async_io.py

  Line 594 in 8de66a2

  async def start(self):

• the start method is still called in pymodbus/server/reactive/main.py in start_modbus_server

  pymodbus/pymodbus/server/reactive/main.py

  Line 242 in d1af691

  self._modbus_server.start()

  pymodbus/pymodbus/server/reactive/main.py

  Line 250 in d1af691

  self._modbus_server.start()

Pull request is welcome.

The start method was empty so it should be safe to remove calls.

Solved.
