Your points are dirty and/or out of adjustment.
I just went through this problem this spring.
Cleaned and gap the points and it went away.
As Chris said no way to bypass it when starting which is normal with the foot starter unless you want to wire in a push button switch to do it.
The dirty points are setting up just enough resistance to lower the voltage to way below the 7 or 8 volts the resistor is giving the points to create a weak spark condition.
Clean and gap
