Surprised it's taken so long for carb icing to be mentioned......

But, from personal experience, my reply would be a dodgy fuel supply (MoGas) causing the fuel filter to become blocked. Didn't result in engine failure in my case, because as soon as the engine started running rough I switched on the standby fuel pump which feeds through a seperate filter, but it's the closest I've come.
