When changing a 6v or 8v system to 12 volts the coil needs to be changed to a 12v coil. And a ballist resistor needs to be added enline with the coil wire. Modern 12v coils actually run on 9 volts. Although the engine will run with out the ballist resistor the points will not last vary long and the coil will have a reduced life.
