Most folks put a filter between the fuel pump and the carb. I am not sure what was there originally
On the starter, if it is original it is most likely a 6 volt. The starter is one of the few components that doesn't care if it gets 6 or 12 volts. In other words you dont have to modify a 6 volt starter to run it on a 12 volt system.
That said there should be a plate on the starter with some identification. If you post that information folks much smarter than I on this site can advise you.
