"As an aside after that last thought, as a quick and easy test and not all LH systems do this, when you turn the key to the ON position (KP-II) the pumps will spin-up for a second to build initial fuel pressure prior to cranking. In a quiet environment you can hear the pumps buzz if you stick your head low by the door sill. If yours can be heard doing this then you can try the following. In the morning, turn the key to the ON position a couple of times to fully prime the fuel system. Does it now start and run notably better? Again, not all LH 2.2 systems do this, but Art has previously suggested that most do. This would then be indicative it's a fuel side supply problem."
LH2.2 (1985-1988 in a 240 n/a) does not "prime" when you turn the key on. None do.
"As I recall, Art has published the details for making up a K-Jet gauge with brass fittings from McMaster, either on his website or over on T-bricks."
No, I have a page on using a commercially made k-jet adapter, but k-jet isn't the topic here. There's a recipe for home-cobbled k-jet gauges on Turbobricks, but I've got the store-bought one so I haven't made one.

"I'm not sure if he's got the details for the needed LH Jetronic fittings."
I've referred to the one I made from a junkyard fuel rail in '99 as a result of finding this forum. Made it in belief knowing fuel pressure was an essential part of troublehooting fuel injection. Still use it today, despite the fact the adapter fittings have been available for years now.
