To bypass the amp meter and the 2 short wires leading to it, just clip a jumper wire across the two studs or wing nuts that hold the terminal box cover on.

Then to check for generator output just connect a voltmeter, one lead to ground, and the other lead to the terminal box wing nut. You should read just over 6 volts with the engine off, and about 1/2 to 1 volt more running at fast idle.
