As you have been advised a 6 volt generator will produce more than 6 volts if regulated to do so. It is, however, not recommended to do this. Generator manufacturers (both Delco Remy in the U.S. and Lucas in the UK) did NOT intend for 6V generators to operate at 12 volts. That is why they produced 6 and 12 volt variants. Remember that 1 volt is 1 Joule of energy per 1 coulomb (approx 100,000) electrons travelling through a circuit. When you run a 6V generator at 12V you asking it to carry far more energy per unit of electrons that it was designed for. If you force a 6 volt generator to run at 12 volts and still produce the same current flow (amps) as it did at 6 volts, then you asking too much of it. If you want to run at 12 volts, it is by far the best policy to use correct 12 volt equipment.
