By start up, do you mean a transient? If not, it's given on the VIAIR web page referenced in the spreadsheet: http://www.viaircorp.com/90C.html#tabs-2 as being 9A. I have not measured this myself. As my team is not using pneumatics this year, it's unlikely that I'll have an opportunity until after build season is over.
