When I was trying to put everything back together after getting it jump started the bottom hex head screw felt like it stripped out. I will check it out in the morning after the sun comes up but if it is stripped what are my options?

The one that comes to mind is the one that holds the cheese grater in palce. If its that one repalce it. Its a threaded bushing pressed into the plastic cover. I dont know you could re-tap it or helicoil it.
