I could only find one other note about this, but when I tried to start my 225/6, all I could get was that loud clicking sound from the solenoid. I figure it is an indicator of low voltage and I know the battery is fine, so it's likely a poor connection at the posts or starter terminal. Does this make sense?

Could be bad battery cable(s) or a faulty starter. Try carefully using a screwdriver to connect the two terminals on the starter (WITHOUT touching any other metal with the screwdriver shank!). If it cranks, the battery cables are okeh and your starter solenoid contacts are kaput.
