A choke pull-off either works or it doesn't. A
working used one will perform exactly as well as a new
one. It just might not last as long. If you buy a
new one, it will probably last another 40 years,
whereas a 40-year-old one may not have much life left
in it.
You can do without one, but cold-start and/or cold-run
performance will suffer. It's purpose is to pull open
the choke a specific amount once the car is running.
Without it, the car runs very rich (and rough) until
warmed up. Once the car warms up, the pull-off
diaphragm is essentially disengaged, so performance is
unaffected by the absence of one.
