If it's indeed closed then you'll have heat to the intake from the crossover. (As long as the crossover isn't plugged).
The reason I mentioned the heat riser was that if it's not working and diverting exhaust heat under the intake then no matter what style of choke is on your carb it will still be a pain to set it right for a trouble free warm up.
