When I start the engine after its been sitting a day or more, I make sure the water intake is closed before cranking, in case the engine proves difficult to start (a frequent occurance in colder weather). I open the valve as soon as the A4 starts.
When the engine is warm, or has just been run within the last few houre, it always starts right up, so I leave the valve open while sailing. And yes, I do have an anti-siphon loop.
