Thats why i use brake n clutch cleaner, not quite a severe and doesnt generate the addiction that easy start seems to

Or possibly once you need easy start. The things knackered anyway and won't start without easy start. Which is why you used the stuff in the 1st place. Instead of finding out what was up with it and fixing it properly.
