Fuel Starvation/Contamination is unlikely to have caused such a smooth rundown in power. There would have be some burping/spluttering to say the least; also, no low fuel light appeared to be on in the video.

Either an overly gripped throttle, gov failure or possible carb icing causing power loss (yes you can get it on warm days if there is plenty of humidity!)
