Gene, sounds like it has a 12 volt battery obviously with those voltage readings. Ideally, a 12 volt battery should measure 12.6 volts if fully charged and setting, but raise from 13 to near 14 or so at high charge when running. Does it have 6 cells n caps like 12 volt batteries do or only 3 as 6 volt units?? Each cell is 2.1 volts. Things to worry about if 6 to 12 volt conversions were done right is whether the old 6 volt coil was used in which case an external voltage dropping (12 to 6) series ballast resistor was added in the ignitions primary circuit between the ignition switch and coils input OR ELSE new full 12 volt rated coil were added,,,,, ,,,,, the charging system was properly converted to 12 volts,,,,, ,,,any lights were changed,,,,, ,,,,,polarity consideratiosn were fixed in cases of alternators.
