You can go either way with this and there are gains and losses either way. If you ditch the chokes you dont have worry about them sticking, you have less clutter and parts and less to go wrong.
On the other hand you will have wait longer for it to warm up and you will have to use your foot to hold it at high idle, there are some set up's that will not stay running for warm up with out a choke(esp.in cold weather).
But with Rochesters in Florida you won't have to much trouble, so if your chokes are more of a pain than the warm up thing.....take them off.
