starts good runs smooth but with a high idle, around 2000 rpms. when I hit the gas it stumbles wanting to die and then it accelerates. When I let off the gas it wants to idle down to normal for a second or two and then it reves it self back up. Weird. I keep looking for a leak with no luck.

get a can of carb cleaner and spray around the base and outside of the carb. if you have a vacum leak the engine will slow down when you find the leak. you can also do this with propane and a rubber hose and let a little flow out the hose.when you find the vacum leak the engine will speed up.be careful with the propane you don't want to lose those eyebrows.

Okay I have a quick question. Will the motor run if the trailing and leading module wires are crossed? It just does not want to run good. Real slow acceleration and lots of popping in the exaust.

Yes it will run if you mix up the L and T systems, just not well.
