The engine is going to warm up if you let it idle chokeless,drive
immeddiatly or let it come to tempbefore moving.I just have alway let any
motor(car,boat,bike,tool)warm a bit before use.Mechanical karma I guess.As
for manufacturors suggestions,remember these are the people that want to
sell you a new whatever,so if you choose to drive away with the choke
on,loading the motor while washing down the cylinders with raw gas,have at
it.The wear on a cold motor will happen either way.A pre-luber is one
answer.
