you cannot measure current with a Clamp-On Ammeter on a DC circuit. They are designed for AC circuits. In a DC Circuit, the ammeter would need to be in series with the load.

DO NOT ATTEMPT to hook an ammeter in series with the starter. Due to the high current, the ammeter will not survive and could be dangerous if not properly fused.
