There are 6volt pumps available there for not too many dollars, if you want to swap out the 12V one sometime? (I can send a link to the supplier if you want it).

Just a thought to keep in the back of your mind, but since there's already a 12V pump installed you could do the swap if / when you want to get the system back onto 6Volts. That has the added benefit of providing a solution to the dreaded 'vapour lock' if it ever happens, plus you can prime the carby before cranking the car, reducing the strain on starter and battery. I find my car starts straight away after turning on the electric pump for a few seconds. Otherwise I'm cranking it over for a while to get fuel along the lines and into the carby.
