I have major problems keeping a redstone timer going for any length of time.
My timer loop is about as simple as it can get, a loop of 6 repeaters each set to 4 ticks which gives a cycle time near 2.5 sec. I use the output from one spot to drive a string of droppers. Timer is started by placing and rapidly removing a redstone torch.
When timer is started, the repeater next in the loop from the torch lights and the pulse travels around the chain as desired. After 15 min to 1 hr, 2 of the repeaters in the loop are lit and travel around. soon 3 are lit and so on until all 6 are lit at once and the timer stops.
Maybe try out this clock http://imgur.com/a/iRuKb#3 (labeled as Clock #6) just add more repeaters. Droppers don't require short pulse. By adding a lever on the block you can easily turn it off.
I like this concept. I'm not certain if it will help, but I just set up both types side-by-side, and will check if it is more stable over time.
Thanks, This clock definitely much more resistant to failure.
Made repeater loop clock and one like above but with 3 repeaters in loop both nominally with 2.4 sec cycle time
In 7 day trial repeater loop clock failed 3 times as all repeaters had turned active at same time, but the repeater + redstone inverter clock did not fail any

Suggestions?
What am I doing wrong?
Is this a common problem?
