From your description, you have a 6V stomp starter switch. If going to 12V, and have a standard coil with resistor in the circuit that needs a bypass to full 12V to the coil for better starting, you may have to change out the starter switch to one that has the small terminal on the side (see pic - stolen from Jim Carter's site). That small terminal (red arrow) gets connected to the coil directly, bypassing the ignition switch and resistor. A 6V starter switch doesn't have that small terminal - otherwise identical.
