One thing about putting 12 volts to the 6 volt starter is that it turns the engine at a much higher rpm than it would on 6 volts. This causes the engine to start much easier. If your 6 volt starter on 12 volts does not start your engine before you heat up the starter, you have a serious engine problem requiring attention unrelated to your starter.
