0020102 generac 4800 choke problem/water heater

Last fall, when starting the generator, it had to crank a long time to start, so I performed a tune up, changed the oil and filter, air filter and fuel filter, when to start it and no change, looking at it I noticed the choke is not closing when cranking, if I manually close it it starts right a way, anyone use this type of generator? Ran across this problem before? I hope to dig into it more this weekend.

Also, I didn't drain the hot water tank a two years ago and it burst, know where I can get a replacement?

This is in a 24ft Carson Toy Hauler

    I noticed the connector with the two red wires, coming off the choke solenoid only has one red wire, i cant find the other one, i see the terminal in the connector......looks like the wire broke off it. If any of you can see yous, can you tell me where the small red wire goes?

    Good luck finding EITHER
    Dometic acquired Atwood several years ago and has stopped production/support for the 6 gal models
    They have a new 6 gal Dometic Model --- it is NOT a direct replacement for the Atwood 6 gal (Taller, narrower)

    Be easier to replace your 6 gal with a Suburban


    I have been looking, but like you said, they are hard to find! Looks like i may have found s replacement tank, but i have to call themp
