Leaking from bowl, weak clip

[Geeky160]

I was battling a weeping carb bowl last weekend and finally noticed the clip seemed weaker. It was pretty easy to click into place compared to the other carb. Luckily, I had a spare that I installed that felt much tighter. Problem solved. I wonder what made it weak suddenly?

I've had that problem before and a bit of gentle bending makes it useful again.
