I didnt winterize my 1992 gtx. Is it ruined?

[Donnym25]

Been sitting since October. Has full tank of gas. It got below 32 degrees about 5 times while sitting...

Is it fucked up ?

What do I need to do to get it right again? I got a camping trip in 2 weeks I would like to have it running.

Thanks

Start it up and see.
It should be fine.

I am on the central Coast of California and have never used the RV antifreeze in any of my skis it only gets below freezing here for a few hours a year.

The only issue could be if your low drain tube is clogged you could have water freeze in the water jackets and crack the cylinders but that isn't common.

Should be ok.

I live in interior Alaska where DOO's sit for six months below freezing, sometimes as low as -50F. When I was a DOO mechanic I only saw one case of the older 580/657 style motor with freeze damage to a cylinder. Like Mikidymac said about the drain, the one damaged motor I saw had clogged drains.

I am glad this is being brought up. I had concerns about my skis when we hand some cold weather down south in 2017. I had them indoors but still built tents over them and put lights inside. I spoke to a few friends that had skis long term and they told me they just cranked them and blew the water out. That was their winter prep. LOL That's not me but do have concerns about the freeze breaking equipment, I've seen it plenty of times. I had 10 skis in the yard last winter but it really never did get below freezing but a couple of hours once or twice. Thanks for posting guys... good info, especially AKnarrowback..... WOW DUDE that is cold shiznit !!!
