I had a 6v starter that I ran on 12v with no problems BUT being the tinkerer that I am (I have been told more than once "You have too much time on your hands") and having two spare good 6v starters laying around, I combined the two to make two 12v starters buy swapping one sets of field coils from each starter and putting them in series. No cost but time (except for replacement brushes and "modern starter drive).
