i just rebuilt my motor and its back in the car.
tried to start it all yesterday, but it just kept flooding,
i did a compression check and both rotors average 100psi
i did get it to start today, by crimping the feed fuel line and had my friend running propane into the intake manifold, and once it started to just run he un-crimped the fuel line and i brought it to life, but i wouldnt hold an idle, i had to keep it at 2krpm to keep it alive,

any advice as to why its flooding terribly on start up and wont hold an idle?

Well, I don't know, but I had my car all tore apart for 4 days, then I put it back together, and it did the same thing. Had to take out the plugs and clean them and blow out all my $3/gal. gas out of the rotor housings. Then it started, and I had to keep it running and it smoked like a bitch, then it finally would run on it's own and hold an idle.... then it finally started running normal and now it's all good. Dunno what to tell you, just keep it running and see if it runs better, maybe make sure you have your hard stop on the throttle set right.

I would guess you have a vaccuum leak. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no reason the car wont idle but will run at 2000 rpms unless you have a vacuum leak or your TPS is fucked up.

i agree, either TPS or vacuum leak... or heck it maybe both
