Yes no chokes wouldn't bother me that much , just requires a little throttle input until its warm enough to idle on its own . Its the icing (ice build up inside the carbs) thats going to drive you nuts when the out side temps are around freezing and the air is moist . You'll want to get as much hot air off the exhaust up to the air filters as possible(for winter). The stock type 3 air filter would be ideal for this. I'm thinking a hose from near an exhaust pipe right on to and over the snorkel . 100% hot air for winter only.
