Trust me, using an 8 volt battery on a 6 volt system is a temporary fix at best, outside of trying to adjust the voltage regulator, burnt points, lights that only burn a bit brighter, but don't last very long are just the start of your problems. BTDT
The 8 volt battery will help cold starting but keeping one fully charged is always a guess.
The best, 6 volt battery you can afford ( highest cranking amps) is the best place to start, ought (0) or double ought (00) battery cables with soldered ends would be the second fix. All electrical terminals shined up bright & shiny for good contact would be my third.
Have the genny & starter rebuilt ( new brushes, bushing & bearings), clean the contacts inside the voltage regulator and you should be good to go.
