Hi,

My 98 palamino Pop Up has an Atwood G6A-7 water heater which, until last weekend, worked perfectly. When I light the heater now, it belches black smoke out of the vent and does not actually 'kick-in' to heat mode as it did before. I have used a small brush (wifes toothbrush actually - sure she wont notice) to clean vents and tube but problem persists. Unable to find anything but an operation manual online - has anyone experienced this problem ? and can you suggest a fix?

Thanks in advance

Keith

My neighbor pulled my intake tube (venturi) out a few minutes ago ... pushed a small twig up it, rotated it and pulled out a minute spider web ...... switched on the gas and cranked it up .. all was good! Now can anyone help me explain the wifes toothbrush?
