Hugh,
You beat me to it! I agree completely.
I thought my 914 ran smoothly when I first started it. A friend who was working with me said that the carbs didn't need balancing. I did it anyway just for the experience and to see what happened. My goodness! It is so smooth now you could put a full glass of water on the radiator cap and it'd hardly wiggle.
The Twin Max is THE way to go for carb balance on a 9xx engine.
I have no stake in Twin Max. Just my 2¢ from my experience, send any flames to the bit bucket.
Check six,

I just wanted to mention another instrument for pneumatically balancing the Bing carbs. I use a Twin Max balancer. It is used primarily for BMW motorcycles and uses a single needle on a gauge to show the carb balance (no more bouncing needles) It is drop dead simple and extremely accurate. I have owned mine for over a year and have used it many times. No way will I go back to the old method. You could do an online search to find one. I found mine on EBAY.
