You are expecting too much from the emission test, those checks are only to verify the parts are on the car and not a function test.

Did you drain the 2 year old fuel?

A lean condition will cause high HC due to random miss fires that you might not feel.

Clogged injectors ( from old fuel ) will dribble rather than spray, this will cause higher HC.
