Yes I think it is the cool fuel 2 I have.
2003 Mag, rebuild to Mag HO.

So there is nothing to do, like cleaning something or parts that can brake?

Cleaning and flow testing the injectors is the main part. Can also clean the fuel rail and lines, screen on the reg (item 16)

Okey thank you
Its the first picture of my cool fuel system.
Gen II

Yes Gen 2

Exactly.
So if I understand you right, there is nothing ”bad” with the gen II cool Fuel system?

Correct so far as the paint issue. For the most part its a stable system, and only issues which cause problems over time are; if clogging with the antisiphon valve regulator screen, but regular maintenance takes care of them normally.

Other issue as with all fuel injected systems id vapor lock on hot days. This can be fixed but requires rerouting fuel return line back to the tank.

Make sure you run a pre pump 100 micron filter.

Is there someone that can tell me how to measure the resistance of the coils?
And what resistance should it be?
Mercruiser 496 Mag Ho

thanks

When I measure between all of the coils I get these numbers on all of them.

Between +12v and ground = 29-31 Kohm
Between +12v and sparkplug output = 10-11 Mohm

AllDodge 02-26-2021 07:40 AM

Finding a ohm meter check is not real clear, but this is what I found

Step 3

Use an ohmmeter to measure the primary resistance on the coil pack. Set the ohmmeter to 10 ohms. Place one lead on the center prong of the coil pack's electrical connector and the other lead on each of the spark plug terminals. The ohmmeter should read below 2 ohms. If the readings are above 2 ohms, have the coil pack replaced.

Step 4

Measure the secondary resistance on the coil pack. Set the ohmmeter to 20,000 ohms. Place both leads on each spark plug terminal. The ohmmeter should read between 6,000 to 30,000 ohms. If the readings are above 30,000 ohms or below 6,000 ohms, replace the coil pack.

The full test procedure is listed here
Be very careful when testing for spark. Do not remove plug wire while motor is running and only use a spark plug tester to check for spark
