This should not be the case and it will not be necessary to remove or disconnect the LOPT.
The overwind may well be wound with Eureka resistance wire and will simply need a much higher voltage to warm it up.

I had a similar experience recently [Ferguson 984T] and ended up running it from the mains via a lamp limiter, meter and variac. It worked after two days. John.
