You can switch to a 12volt system pretty easy just have the generator rebuilt to 12volts (and 12v regulator) or put an alternator on it. Then youll have to chance the bulbs to 12volt if you have lights. Final thing youll have to do is add a 3 buck resistor to the coil if it has a distributor, if it has a mag then no need to add one. Your looking at about spending 250 or so going that route with a new battery. Personally if it was me and your current generator is working properly then i would stay with the 6volt system. Make sure you have a good battery and have heavy 00 gauge cables. Also make sure that the starter is good and not getting tired. A 6volt system on a M is fine as long as you have all good connections with a good battery and the right cables.
As for the carb, youll need to take it apart and put in a new seat and needle on the float. Make sure the float level is set correct and that will take care of that most likely. When you have it apart put the float in a bowl of water to see if any bubbles come up with it under the surface. They are "generally" ok and do not normally rot out. I would look at that seat and needle.
