If 8 is good 12 is better. The other good part about 12 is that everyone knows how to work on it and parts are readily available. If you are trying to improve the starting be sure you have the larger cables designed for 6 volts and the starter isn't ready for a rebuild. For lights get the reflectors from Bratton's (NOT ANYWHERE ELSE!!!) and the most powerful 6 volt bulbs available. If you go 12 volts get the "Brite" bulbs from Ron Francis Wire Works, https://www.ronfrancis.com, (800) 292-1940. Still get the reflectors from Bratton's. If you want it to run better, tune it up, changing the voltage won't affect how it runs.
