You do not need to spin the generator faster. The voltage regulator (not the cutout) just regulates current flow to the field coils / pole shoes. Yes, a 6 volt generator will operate at 12 volts, BUT you should be careful. A generator in excellent condition internally will tolerate the change, so long as you do not increase the current output too much. However, if the internals are a bit tired (weak insulation etc) there is a serious risk of starting a fire. Personally, I would just fit a 12 volt generator. I presume that Delco-Remy manufactured 6 and 12 volt generators just as Lucas did. I had the option of fitting a C39 or C40 Lucas generator at either 6 or 12 volts. Even the voltage regulators look identical, apart from the 12V stamp.
