Having problems with pin/slot joint

I can't seem to get the pin / slot joint shown in the attached drawing to work in Fusion360.  It keeps telling me I have a conflict that prevents the calculation....

Please share your model. You can simply export it as an.f3d and attach it to your next post.

That will make it much easier to determine what's oing on 😉

I've attached the f3d file for the model.  The problem area is trying to use the pin / slot joint on the pin at the outside end of the plungers and the slots in ends of the rocker arm.  The goal is for the plungers to slide in and out of the solenoid coils causing the rocker arm to pivot on the center shaft revolute joint.

Many thanks for any help you can give me...

Replace the Revolute joint that holds the rocker shaft with a Cylindrical joint. Otherwise you'de be overconstraining your assembly.

Kudos, to the structure of yor design. The way you work with components keeps the assembly very clean, easy to analyse and to work with. Awesome!
