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?

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.
