I want to upgrade my 8n from 6volt to 12volt. Do I need anything more than the upgrade kit, like new starter, plugs or lights?

The 6-Volt starter, spark plugs, breaker points, and condensor are just fine.

Any light bulbs will need to be changed to 12-Volt.

The coil needs to be changed and/or a resistor added. The exact resistor will depend upon whether it has a front-mount or a side-mount distributor, and what coil you are using.

6v starter will be fine, same plugs will work, you will need new headlights. And, I'm just curious, but why would you want to convert it to 12v?
