Like others said, I’d keep the 6 volt starter – it will work fine n 12 – same thing is done in old car conversions. I’d get a 12 volt starter solenoid like Sierra #18-5807, available at discount online boat places. The choke actuator solenoid should have a resistor added in series with it that is the same resistance as the choke coil to soak up half the voltage – use one with a 5 watt rating.
