Leave the 6 volt start on there!!!! you are doing the same thing as VW buggy guys have done for 30 plus years! all the old VW cars were 6 volt till some time in the 60"s I think. Then they went to 12 volt. Long story short you could not change the 6 volt starter out to 12 volt becasue it would not work with the 6 volt angine tranny combo. We have 3 vw buggys that have 6 volt starters with 12 volt system. We start and stop them constantly the have had the origanal startes on them since about 1972 converted to 12 volt never replaced them. Just do not over use the starter as in constant roll over it the engine is not starting that is when you will burn it up other than that it will be fine.
