What am I doing wrong when the stitching on top of the material is ok and straight and the backside is knotting?

wrong bobbin tension , but amazingly its actually easier to adjust the top threads tension to compensate for it , use your tension knob to slowly adjust , try an inch , slowly adjust try an inch , and so on to get a top and bottom thread tension to match , this will need to be adjusted for each major change in fabric (aka , knits to woven )

If Seat adjustment is possible in 2011cbunicorn

Your bike has a mono shock. It does have adjustments but it is for ride stiffness not necessarily ride height. But adjusting the rear shock will lower and or raise the seat a small amount. But at the lowest setting the seat height is still 792mm or 31.2 inchs. You may find a shorter shock but it would have to be from a parts search to match.

I just replaced my clutch cable, but now that I've put everything back together I have a problem. The bike will from neutral to first and back without the clutch lever pulled in. However it also...

Good news, you just need adjust the clutch cable..

Always order the part for your model and year when getting parts and make sure it matches in length with the old one. Note how much cable is sticking out of the housing.
Is it 3 1/2 inches or 4 inches or 2 inches. make sure the new one matches.

Put the new cable on with lots of slack.Slack at the adjuster, and slack at the handlebar adjuster
Now pull the lever in, it will be easy because of the slack.let it stay there.
It will stay against the grip.
As you tighten the cable adjustment down by the cover, you'll notice the clutch lever move out.
Once it reaches the top, stop adjusting and pull it in again.
Continue adjusting and pulling the lever until the lever springs back to the top.
You can feel resistence which is the clutches disengaging.
Make sure there is 1/8" free play when the lever springs back.
Now turn the clutch cable adjust on the handlebar outward, which will remove the rest of the slack.
Only leave 2mm slack on the lever.

Now start your bike up and it should work like new.
You want your clutch to disengage within the first 1/2" of pulling the lever in.
This ensures the clutches are definately disengaged by the time you get the lever pulled back to the grip when shifting.

If your clutches are slipping or dragging no matter how you adjust the cable then your clutches may need replaced.
But sounds to me like its just an adjustment.

Getting an zoom error on my fuji film finepix z90, what can i do?

Lens errors (zoom errors on Fuji's) are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ... Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to lens error problems can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some last resort troubleshooting steps that you can try that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try.

I am able to see with the 20m Lens but once i insert the 5mm Lens it looses focus and i cannot see anything, i tried adjusting the focus again with no success. The worst thing that even at day light i...

That's because the 5 mm is too much magnification for your small telescope. Maximum magnification is a function of APERTURE. Which is how big is the front lens or the mirror.

Your scope has about a 2 inch aperture, so the maximum posiible magnification is about 100 power (if it is like the one in the picture above)

50 times aperture (2 inches)-- 100 power

It will only achieve 50 times if the optics are perfect and the sky is very transparent and stable. Usually only 30-40 times is all you normally get.

I need to adjust my fuel to air ratio on a 1986 Nissan how do i do that

OK, Im gonna assume you mean CARBURETED 86 truck, If you want to adjust idle mixture, there is a small (1/4 inch or so) plug in the base of the carb between 2 small vacuum hoses. Carefully remove it (punch a hole or drill it at an angle then bry it out with the hole you made and a small screwdriver). Then you can adjust IDLE mixture. Off idle, you may also have an altitude compensator (about the size of a tennis ball, 3 medium sized vacuum hoses to it side by side, 1 big nut and stud on 1 side). Adjusting that adjusts mixtures as well, but should be done only with an analyzer. beyond that, fuel is computer controlled...so if its rich or lean, you have a mechanical issue or a fuel control problem...not an adjustment
