5/16" = 0.3125"
8 mm = 0.3150"

Only 2.5 thousands difference. Either will work ... I use a 6-point socket to ensure good engagement.

5/16" six point socket or small 5/16" combination wrench here too

I think the design-intent was to help prevent over torquing by not having a regular large hex head on the bolt.

Without testing with a meter,, you most likely have a defective starter solenoid. If you just replace the solenoid ($50-$60),, you will most likely resolve your issue.

Had the exact same issue down to having to HOLD the ket to the start position.

If you bang the solenoid and it starts, you have the issue licked!!

Heres the starter schematic. As you can see,,,,, there are a LOT of components in the circuit that can cause the issue. The break in point is the Theft Deterrent Relay
