It does sound like it is starving for gas. The sound of the motor on the video sounds like there is a fluttering noise. Maybe it’s just the recording playing tricks. I would check the float drop adjustment to make sure the float will open enough to keep the carb bowl full. Of course check the float level as well.
Do you have one of those aftermarket fuel line/primer bulb assemblies? I have seen several of the ones from wal mart that have the inside of the fuel line falling apart. The motor will run good till you hit WOT, then starve out. I fought one of those on a V4 this summer, same problem.
