How often is "all the time", it's been 30 years, and when the clutch was stuck I used the starter to drive the car out of the garage and to start car in gear to drive, I think the reliability is more attention to small details, I used new bolts and locks, a lot of the used bolts have worn threads that allows them to wobble and come loose
I have 6 v, but because of bright lights and fast cranking I have been told I must have 12v system
