Read your initial post again and sounds same as a problem I had. It was the back flow preventor valve in the line that comes out of the hot water heater. On mine this was attached to the water heater outlet and was broken. If you remove the line coming out of it and fish around in the valve you should be able to get a plastic piece resembling a golf tee out, this stops the water from flowing back into the tank after draining and opening bypass valve for winterizing. The hot water should flow fine after hooking the line back with this piece removed, but if you winterize you will need to replace the whole valve assembly.

Fred....great post Brad should add this to the University sticky.

Have you check the position of the water heater bypass valve?

Fixed it. Nothing more than a clogged elbow as it came out of the heater before the cold water bypass valve.

Thanks for the replys.

This is your problem.
There are check-valves on both the "IN" and the "OUT" lines on the water heater that are part of the Swan winterizing kit that Lance uses. One of those valves is either stuck closed or clogged. The valves can be cleaned if you're careful, or just replaced. The check-valves are what allows you to bypass the water heater with just one manual valve.
