Bad idle

so i have my 7 working decent but it seems to be idling weird...it sometimes goes down to 300 rpms? its really weird. is that just idle needs to be adjusted or something. maybe im running too rich and its burning the extra gas or something. i have no clue. how do i fix my idle?

1st thing i would do is check the throttle cable (its basic) but that is what was wrong with mine

Sounds like a vac leak to me, go around and pinch vac lines, thats the easiest way of finding a broken one that i know of.
