Why don't you convert it to a 12V flywheel? They are not that hard to come by.

You may need to use a 12V solenoid with the 6 volt starter, which may require some creativity, or convert back to a 6V foot stomp starter, which can be run on 12V with impunity as long as you don't allow it to overheat by cranking too long.
