It's not a choke like you think- it's an enrichment valve that let's fuel bypass at start and when warmed up it allows more fuel to enter the bowl.Without it, it will be really hard to start(lots of pumping the pedal) but run normal when warm. It sounds like it's working if it starts right up though.Remove the enrichment valve and turn the ignition on or add a power source, watch after a few minutes to see if the needle/plunger moves (it doesn't move out very quickly). Try unplugging it when warmed up and see if the buggy runs.If this doesn't work- check the float angle in the bowl.
