Not until you figure out what’s causing your throttle to stick. I like my throttle. I use it after starting, when I’m warming up the truck so I don’t have to continue using the choke. The choke dumps raw gas into the cylinders washing the oil off the walls and some seeps into the crankcase past the rings, contaminating the oil. The sooner you can get the choke off the better it is for your engine.
