The starter needs a LOT of power to turn the engine over properly. As 
long as that clamp is loose, it won't start.

You can do one of two things... Buy a replacement clamp and repair the 
positive wire, OR they make lead post covers that make the post larger 
and then you can clamp over that.

I vote for replacing the clamp.
