He appears to have power but the starter just clicks.  That's a classic bad connection symptom.

There is a large copper washer on the plunger inside the solenoid.  These often get pitted or burned.  You can remove the 3 small screws on the right end of the cover and slide the plunger out to check,  Can be cleaned up with a file or HD has a rebuild kit.

Put battery power to the solenoid at the green wire.....make sure it's in neutral.  :wink:

Charge the battery and take it to an auto parts store, have it load tested.
