Good job Matari with the information of auto filter :-)
The rubber is fragile than the normal and it wasn't problem only this one piece. So if you can check it , do it. You can simply crook the rubber and if some part crumble, you are in a trouble. If is the steel grid partly visible on a rubber edge of a filter than is this one bad too.
I agree with ericferret. The engine speed go down slowly. When the mechanic execute the inspection, he found the long part in carburetor venturi and detached part of rubber was washed-up.
To IMO, I'm sure that it wasn't carb icing. The temperature was 20-25 deg Celsia and I pull full the carb heat.
