What happens if you drive with your choke on?
It will not damage the engine at all. All that will happen is that it will run richer, thus using more fuel. If you did it for thousands of miles you’d probably end up with more deposits in the engine/exhaust, but even that is easy to sort. Basically it can’t draw enough fuel with bad Diaphragm.
What happens if you leave the choke on on a motorcycle?
Leaving the choke on for a ride should not have any lasting affect on your engine. All it will do is cause your bike to run richer than it normally does. This could reduce your fuel economy for that ride. If you left the choke for months of riding, you could foul the spark plugs due to the rich fuel mixture.
Is there a choke on a fuel injected bike?
The answer is no, fuel injected bikes do not have a mechanical choke. A fuel injected bike does not have a carburetor. The air and fuel mixtures are determined by the Engine Control Unit (ECU). If the engine wants a rich fuel mixture for starting, it can automatically increase the amount of fuel injected into the cylinders.
Where is the choke located on an engine?
The choke is located before the throttle, and manages the total amount of air going into the engine. The choke is only used when starting a cold engine. Thereof, is it bad to run an engine with the choke on? Basically it can’t draw enough fuel with bad Diaphragm.
Why do you need choke on a carbureted bike?
The choke is necessary on carbureted bikes because the engine requires different air fuel ratios at different temperatures. This is due to changes in air density and vaporization of the gasoline. At cold temperatures engines don’t vaporize fuel the same way it would at operating temperature.

Why do you need a choke in a cold engine?
The purpose of the “choke” is to enrich the air fuel mixture to help start a cold engine. Cold is the key word here because a “cold engine” will not easily vaporize the fuel in the air fuel mixture entering the engine. So we need to enrich the mixture in a cold engine to increase the amount of combustible vapour present.
