I don't profess to be an expert on this but I did have a car which did this
a lot.

Some cars have solenoid operated valves to shut off the fuel supply to the
idle jet on engine switch off and I have also seen a solenoid operated valve
which admitted air directly into the intake manifold on switch off so the
phenomenon is not unknown in the motor car world.

Don't know if the 914 has any such valve on the carby and I suspect not.  I
would however, ensure that the idle speed is not set too high because I
found my car was very sensitive to idle speed.

Not too much help I know but nevertheless ..........
