Dear OK, If you have 6 volts now and want to convert to improve starting, YES you have to change more than just the battery. You have to change any bulbs or lights over to 12 volts, you have to add a ballast resistor in series with the high side of the coil, and you have to change to a 12 volt regulator on the generator or get another generator thats already got a 12 volt regulator or you could change to an alternator. Also, if you have positive ground now and want to go to an alternator, you have to change to negative ground and reverse any ammeter leads and reverse the coil leads.
