A choke on a lawnmower engine, or any engine with a carburetor, is a device that reduces the airflow through the carburetor. It causes the fuel-air ratio to be richer, that is, more fuel and less air. This helps most carbureted engines to start while cold and before steady fuel flow is established, but the rich mixture reduces the power and efficiency of the engine tremendously. Leaving the choke on will produce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions and may cause the engine to stall as soon as any load is placed upon it. That is why engines require either manual release of the choke or have an automated device to back it off. Excessive use of the choke will generally result in fouled spark plugs.

My Honda Shadow 600 VLX doesn't keep an idle. I have to keep the choke pulled for starting and running the engine. Can't drive as any throttle kills it. New battery. What to do?
You need to take you car to a mechanic. It is obvious you do not know what you are doing. Your battery is in the electrical system. Your choke is in the fuel system. They are separate. It is normal to pull out your choke to start your engine. It is not normal to have your choke out to run your engine. As soon as your engine starts, you should push your choke in. When you pull out your choke, you close the air going into your carb. Then you push in the choke to allow air to flow through your carb. That lets you speed up or slow down. If it won't run with the choke pushed in, try pushing the choke in slower.

How do you start your riding lawn mower with a chokeWhere is the choke?
The choke on a riding lawnmower is typically a lever on the "dashboard." Often it is near the lock. The choke is used primarily when starting a riding mower that is cold and often it is not necessary to use the choke after the engine has been running. The choke, when engaged, allows more fuel and less air to reach the spark plug in the engine. The higher concentration of fuel is easier to ignite and thus the engine is easier to start. Once the engine is running and warm, the choke should be disengaged.
Why does the choke on your lawnmower not close?
The choke on your lawnmower may not close due to a few common issues, such as a stuck or damaged choke cable, which can prevent it from returning to its resting position. Dirt or debris in the choke mechanism can also impede its movement. Additionally, worn or broken springs that help the choke close may contribute to the problem. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help resolve these issues.
