Also, you've built into the system some tension where the throw rod meets the crank. So it's only going to go so far unless the throw rod meets the crank in a slot, not a hole. That way it is free to move in an arc. It will only travel as far as the slot or hole allows (unless the crank and pivot of the throw rod are the same).

That may be your solution. Ream the hole or saw it into a slot with a jeweler's saw. Good luck.
