3) Starter
Your old 6v starter will work in your new 12v system. Like the relay any imperfections in the starter or ring gear will be multiplied with 12V. Do not crank on your 6v starter for more than about 10 seconds at a time with out allowing it time to cool off. This will keep it from over heating and burning up. Other than that the 6v starter will be fine. If you ever need to have your starter rebuilt it is a good idea to have it rewound to 12v’s while you have it in the shop.

Testing;
You can remove the starter and use a set of jumper cables to test it. One cable goes to the starter case and the other to the starter post. It should run like this. For a better test take it to a shop or parts store and have a draw test done on it. This shows how many amps it takes to run the starter.
