The gauge was for determining the height of the generator drive pulley and the need for shims under the pulley. Frankly, I’ve never seen a need to change whatever came with it.
It will not harm the generator to run it without being connected to the regulator. But it makes more sense to just remove the belt and save the wear & tear (and hp loss).
Before you ask, yes the generator does consume some amount of horsepower, but I’ll be darned if I could ever tell the difference.
