We haven't had a DNF but we very nearly missed the start of a race.

We have run a Mercury Outboard style kill switch on our last 2 bikes and have had no problems with it.

We have a block connector which looks Heath Robinson. A technical inspector didn't like it so we bought a jetski cut-out to fit, but when Colin tested it, the string bit broke when it was at an angle, so not much use!

At least two DNS becuase of the bloody things amongst other scrutineering and general testing incidents where they've failed... It's got to a point where I'm used to just fitting a short wire loop on a string attached with spade connectors... Works a treat even though the scrutineers give you a telling off!!
