Just run 24vdc to the 12vdc starter. With the long cable run you may
need the extra juice. When we lived on the N.M./Colorado border some
years back I converted my I.H. truck to 12vdc run and 24vdc start. The
batteries were in parallel for charging and running and series for
starting. Made a big difference at -30° to -50° F. You might contact
these guys about the ignition and starter:

If they don't have what you want they may be able to direct you to
somebody that does.
