Great looking model!
There was a mate conflict in the sub-assembly "vevstakar ass" where Revolute1 was failing. You appear to have recreated this mate with Revolute2, you you can suppress or delete Revolute1.
If you then add a Cylindrical mate between the crank and rod the mechanism you'll get the motion you want. I chose Cylindrical because the mate connectors only need to be aligned _along_ the axis, not coincident which Revolute would need.

But I ALSO fixed a bunch of screwy stuff in the main frame
