I agree, won't work.
I disconnected that circuit on my Stag; couldn't tell it made any difference
at all. Especially with the XR700, you shouldn't have any trouble getting
it started (and all that wire does is help out the ignition a bit when
starting).
If you really want to keep the function, then add a relay with the coil
connected from the white/red to ground (so energized when the starter is
energized), and the contacts wired across the ballast resistor.
The 75 TR6 didn't use the second small terminal on the starter solenoid;
which might explain how yours is missing. It also used a relay to short out
the ballast (except it was a special relay with a second contact to operate
the starter solenoid as well).
