Perfectionist advice requested. 200 1983

I agree with you 100%... think check valve.

My car used to cycle the fuel pump(s) any time I flicked the ignition into
position 2. This made for easy starts. Now I've gotta flick it to start
momentarily so the pumps will cycle. *sigh*

Of course the proper way to do this is to check the residual fuel pressure
(I believe the Bentley manual states that it should retain x PSI for about
20 minutes after you've run the car). Checking the pressure is, IIRC,
easier on the LH-Jetronic cars.. at least on the K-Jet cars you need all
sorts of funky attachments.
