Even though you have an electric choke there still is bimetal inside the housing that can hold your choke closed without any power being to the housing itself. Without the electric choke hooked up it would be like your choke being on all the time! I'd suggest hooking the choke up to a 12v source from your ignition (and grounding the - terminal), or remove the housing if you don't want a choke.
