Have 173 CC MTD engine == 12A-18MC056. I really don't want to buy a new carb - just a rebuild kit.Can't seem to find one.
I'm assuming it's a carb problem. It starts and runs OK with the choke out (on). When I push the choke in (off), it starts missing badly and black smoke runs out of the exhaust.
your carb kit is`951-10326 about half the cost of the carb might be better to replace the carb. There is a minor kit 951-10323 not worth buying.
