Canada emision testing

i live in BC canada and we have VERY strict smog restrictions. I have taken the Air Care test 4 times now, making carb adjustments, and other basic things(plugs, wires, air filter, cat's - yes 2, PCV...) everytime i fail the test by haveing WAY too much carbon monoxide. What would cause my engine to burn that crappoy, and what can i do to fix it?
