Gail.. welcome to Trike Talk👍👍
A little more information on the vacuum leak would be helpful‘But as a start check the vacuum hose’s where they plug in to the nipples sometimes they Swell up (loosen) there..
Hi Gail, Welcome to Trike Talk
You can spay some aerosol like carb spray around suspect hoses, if your engine speed increases you have found your leak
Look closely @ any and all hoses around the intake manifold, use a slight bending motion to check to see if the engine speed increases, if you have cruise control check if it has a hose also
Hi Gail what exactly is the issue? If it idles but will not accelerate one common problem was the air intake. With age and heat it cracks and allows to puch air in the the MAP sensor does not see. Let us know. there is a solution posted in the Stallion section of the site. If you can not find it or have questions make a post.

Here is the thread Ted is talking about, this is a common problem with air intakes like this

My stallion runs. It idles rough upon acceleration and also lost the vacuum to the power brakes. It sat for a year during COVID times.
Where is the vacuum canister located? Anyone know? Maybe there isn’t one.

Is the hose collapsed? That hose is normally the largest hose and direct vacuum from the intake
Some times running some Seafoam thru the intake can help cure rough running
