Default auto choke

If they fail, and they do, you will be running rich all of the time. When mine failed, I did the redneck manual choke conversion (Nut & Bolt).
since I have a DC system ( lights work with just key turned) shouldn't I be able to just remove auto choke from carb and turn key for a check?
