cold start was OK
Mine is on the hard. It was -5C (23F) the other day and I put the carb on, fired it up and ran it for about 15 seconds. I turn the engine over every month or so to ensure no sticking valves etc. It did turn over allot this time prior to starting but the fuel pump had to deliver fuel to an empty carb, so not a major.
For guys in the water you can just turn it over with the coil wire off just to keep things moving. Leave the sea cock water intake closed. Hopefully no surprises like stuck valves in the spring.
