The OP did't say it runs and dies after he cranking. He said it runs like crap after cranking, for as long as he holds the throttle open. Therefore, it has NOTHING to do with the ballast resistor starting bypass circuit.
When checking the voltage at the resistor with a meter, it will be exactly the same (12v) at both ends when the points are open. It will not drop to 6v until there is current flow thru the points.
