Two tricks I used to use to make my single ZS carb  pass 
the strict NY emissions:((now Weber DGV and passing 
easily)
#1 loosen valves so they all tapped a bit. 
#2 I had a vacuum tee in one of the vacuum lines that 
went to the manifold. I would uncap the tee and the idle 
became leaner and HC would drop down. I believe that I 
had to be below 280 PPM HC to pass.
Your mileage may vary....
