It would be normal for a 12 volt conversion to
still have the 6 volt starter in place. If used
properly they will last a long time.

If the charging system is indeed still for 6 volt,
the regulator and cut out must have been
readjusted for 12 volt use. If the cut out had not
been adjusted those contacts would stay
closed and quickly drain the battery when not
in use,

Before alternators became readily available
for conversion use, it was not unusual to just
replace the battery, add a resister to the coil,
change the light bulbs, and then readjust to
regulator to function as a 12 volt system.

The regulators were the weak part of this
system. Since they were being operated at
twice their designed voltage it was difficult to
keep them adjuted properly.
