Generator Macerator

[Jo Kar]

We have a 2022 Thor Windsport the generator won't start and the Macerator pump dose not run. Any help would be appreciated!

Won't start isn't cutting it as a description.
I'm pretty sure I have a pretty good idea, but I Won't participate if you won't.

For all we know you're out of gas or have the store switch in the wrong position.

Me: My butt hurts
Doctor: where how Why when?

3/4 tank of gas, turns over, doesn't seem to be getting fuel. Fuel pump doesn't seem to be running. The dealer winterized the unit and this is the first time I tried to use it. I'm not aware of a "store" switch. I appreciate any help.

The "store switch" being referred to is the use/store coach switch that deactivates the coach batteries when you store you coach. It is usually at the entrance near/above the entry steps. It must be in the "on" position to supply power.

It turns over so that eliminates the switch possibility. Depending on how long it was stored, it could be a gas quality issue. Today's crappy ethanol gas should have a "best by" date on the pumps. When last was the generator cranked? Are the house batteries fully charged? Also, check as much as you can get to on the generator wiring and the wiring around and to any other electrically powered components that don't work. You may have/had mice or rats camping over the winter. They love the new soy protein food source in new wire coatings.

If the op has the skill, an ether shot will tell if it's fuel related or wiring related.
But
A shop is the best bet.
Warranty work or rodents.

Chinese carbs are inexpensive and well made if the op has the wherewithal..

(I wonder about onan warranty if the winterizing caused a problem.)

And
In case the op has forgotten(no innuendo here. I never remember how to put the overhead bed down):
Hold the generator stop button until the light goes off. Do it again. THEN try to start the generator.

How long has it been since it last ran? Was it hard to start then? Like duck said... that can of "hot shot" starting fluid (ether) will tell you a lot.
