Keep riding. If it's fun and running well, I would not worry about it.
PS. If your comprssion tester uses a Schrader valve, make sure it's not leaking. They get fouled easily.

I will keep riding until winter. Then I think I'll take a peek inside. I just can't let a known problem go unchecked forever.
As for the guage, I did borrow another gauge to double check the readings. No difference.
