sounds like by your numbers a possible bad cap, wires or plugs. Your numbers indicate you are not burning all your fuel. the rest of your numbers indicate combustion is occuring and your not getting to much fuel as your co numbers are in the passing range. Be aware co MAY go up when you get the unburnt fuel condition taken care of.
