I believe the main problem would be the generator's field winding. It would have a reluctance designed for 6 volts. In other words if you applied 12 volts to it, it would draw twice as much current and probably burn out. I don't think the regulator could compensate for the increased field current. But until the field did burn out, the generator would really put out. This problem might be overcome with a heafty resistor (maybe 50 watts or so) so that the field still got only 6 volts. As another idea I would think only the field needs to be rewound for 12 volts. Since they come out of the generator with a couple large screws, I would almost think a person could rewind them himself using the same wire and length as a 12 volt generator.

Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad.
