Default engine test stand

I need some help, I used the diagram below to hook up my engine test stand but when I turn the key to the run position after a little while the ballast resistor is almost to hot to touch. I'm using the ignition switch that came with the stand. it has 4 posts,I put hot to one post and used a volt meter to find the run post and the start post. I go from the run post to the ballest res. from the start post I go to the starter relay solenoid post. on the starter relay I have a wire from the batt post to batt terminal on relay,from ign on relay to ballest res. and from sol on relay to sol on starter and main cable from batt to starter. I primed the oil pump and tryed turning the motor over(spins fine) but I haven't tried starting it because of the heat thing with the ballast res. I hope I've explained this good enough that someone can help. thanks
