Welcome Mike, here are my thoughts on your question.
1) IF ??????? it has a saddle mount onto starter mechanical push down to start switch, I have seen many of those switches go bad (IE Starter itself may be fine) due to burned pitted corroded contacts OR the copper starter contact post under that switch is burned and pitted. It's easy to remove that switch (disconnect battery first, remove the two small switch mounting screws) look underneath for a burned pitted post on the starter or the switch contacts are all burned and pitted. CHECK THE SWITCH FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) To be safe, I would remove, clean and wire brush and re attach EACH AND EVERY battery and ground and starter switch connections. Insure the ground cable is attached to clean shiny metal NOT rusty thin sheet metal.
3) Insure the battery is good and fully charged.
4) A 6 volt starter can work on 12 volts okay just avoid longgggggggggg cranking times.
5) If all the cables and grounds and connections are good and the switch is good ???? and its a good full charged battery IT TAKES AN AWFUL BADDDDDDDDDDDD 6 volt starter motor that will not crank at all under 12 volts.
Sure the old starter may be bad (worn down brushes or bad bushings or bad or shorted armature etc) but I would FIRST check the starter switch and cables and connections and grounds...…..
