I need some advice.I have some of the fundamentals down.My problem is that once I get up I just can't seem to get my left leg to push down and get the wheel going.I just seem stall out on the top. Are the exercise rountines that I can do to help with the reaction time? Thanks.

It helps if the ground is going a bit down hill. I really have to push it hard to get it rolling.
You might try watching some of Terrys (Unigeezer) videos, I think he does a moving mount that would help

I know this doesn't help but I often have exactly that same issue mounting, even on my 24":o Sometimes feels my brain just isn't wired to my foot.
Any tips folks have much appreciated.

I am the most consistent mounting my 36er with a rolling jump mount. Even slowly rolling the wheel forward helps with the momentum, plus pushing down with my lead foot is more effective coming off the jump. It takes some practice to get it all coordinated, but once you do its pretty consistent.

Hop once you're up there if you have too.
