    Unless that is a totally enclosed type motor condensation internally could account for the instant breaker trip. Sounds like you also have a worn valve problem as well.

    That is a cheap and cheerful motor off a compressor...definitely not meant to be left out the way it is even with the protection of the Little Tikes swing. Valve is definitely worn but still works if I am careful. Seems as good an excuse as any to get one with some features though.
