I abort the take off and get back to the hangar. Thinking that the problem was old fuel, I remove completely the fuel, put new fuel, new plugs, clean the air filter, clean carburetors, start the engine and everything was OK. Since is was late, I don't fly it. Today I start my engine ROTAX 914 Turbo and during the warn up, around 3 minutes of engine running at 2,000 RPM, the Amber Warning TCU light, blink 3 times and then stop blinking. The Engine is installed on a Magni Gyro and it has 248hrs This was my EIS reading when this happened: Fuel Pressure: 6.5psi Engine RPM: 2,000 Oil Temp: 95 EGT: 1,000 CHT: 120 I was checking the Rotax 914 Trouble Shooting Manual and its says that if this Amber TCU warning light blink, its mean that there can be a problem in: Wiring Sensor Sensor damage TCU Failure Air Box Leakage So where you recommend me to start looking for the problem?

What if any, is the reaction of the hose to the oil content of Wd40? Is there any form of deterioration in this practice? If so, what is your habit?
