With no voltage to the choke(enrichener) the needle is full open. When the vehicle is started, the needle is full open, it has a heater element, that warms up, and progressively closes the needle, cutting off the enrichenner circuit. It needs voltage the entire time the engine is running to keep that circuit closed, once the engine has warmed. If you don't supply voltage to the choke, you'll end up fouling plugs, loosing power, diluting your engine oil with gas, and generally causing all sorts of problems.
