I will add to what Staffo said, another common problem is to over tighten them and actually force them off. This will in some cases deform the part that goes on the carb and render them useless since they won't stay on then. Mine have never fallen off with the clamps that were supplied with the filters. But you do have to be sure everything is located correctly before you tighten.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
