So... I removed the screw in the attached picture thinking it was the drain plug when changing my oil. As soon as i removed it i realized that it was the incorrect screw and replaced it. When put the screw back in it seemed like i had to insert the screw much further before it engaged threads vs when i removed it which makes me think this could have been securing something inside the engine that is now dislodged (i may be wrong about this because i am nervous i screwed something up).
After filling the oil tank to the proper level, I can turn the key and hear the fuel pump turn on, the screen lights up and there are no lights or error messages, but when i turn the key further to start the sled the starter does not turn on or even click. I started the sled and moved it right before i drained the oil, so i can't imagine relay or fuse related, but i am about to start checking fuses and swapping relays to see if it is just that.
I also can't seem to find a good schematic of what this screw is used for... i attached the schematic and think it is just for attaching the oil pan to the case, but it is hard to tell.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Update:
I found another thread that mentioned a throttle safety switch was causing the starter to not turn on. I was just able to pull and release my throttle a few times and it still didn't start, so I turned the key and bumped the throttle and the started engage and the sled started right up. I was able to shut it down and restart it normally a couple times without issue... pretty concerning that i could be stranded if this happens again.
I am going to do some more searching on this forum and see if there is any more information and will update if i find some.
