Like so many projectors mine wont start when it senses the bulb is bad/missing. Is there any way to build a dummy load to trick this? I have heard it can be done by putting a MOV and a 1Kohm resistor in series across the bulb pins but I am not sure about this.
Hmm...
To simulate the actual load of the lamp you'd need a low resistance resistor and it would need to be rated at a very high wattage. I'm not sure you'll find one.
I presume the MOV is there to absorb the ignitor pulse? I think it would die pretty quickly!

Do you want a temporary solution for testing or are you going to try and retofit a different bulb and ballast?
I think Goodbyeqti answered your question if your looking for a temporary solution. If you want to retofit check out these threads...

Yeah, if you are trying to retrofit it then using a dummy load is definately not the way forward!
