Zach's KR has an O-200 and had the old Delco pull type starter that's akin to the 1950s Chevy foot starter.  That type of starter has a sprag clutch to drive the Bendix that that is around $650 to replace when it fails.  I killed two of them in my KR before I upgraded to a much lighter Sky-tec star

Your alternator or dynamo system should not produce power without the battery to excite the system, so if the BMS system in your LiFePo battery is shutting it off, then your system goes dead.  EarthX doesn't seem to have this issues, but using an AGM battery is a solid and reliable fix.
