Try adding some Redex to your petrol and giving it a good run before you retest it, it has worked wonders for me in the past. Combined with new filters it brought my emissions right down. Make sure you get the right one as they do seperate ones for carbs, injection etc, etc.

Do you mean fuel filters or air filter as it has had both recently ?

Sorry, I meant the air filter. If it's had one just pop in some Redex, it worked a treat for me
