If there is enough metal around the hole, you could helicoil it, or tap it out for an oversize fitting.

I suppose the choke will open without direct heat from the choke tube...eventually. But certainly not "perfectly." It will work a LOT quicker if the heat were routed directly to the spring, as intended. And even quicker still with the electric assist choke cap. Without a source for the hot air to directly heat up the thermostatic spring in the choke cap, the engine will run on a richer mixture for a much longer period of time, wasting gas and causing unnecessary engine wear.
