Oh, dont worry...she was WOT
It has a very goofy aftermarket muffler that really isnt a muffler...and she was barkin. I do need to graphite the insides of that thrower. Its a little rusty, but for coming right out of the shed and being put to use I was very pleased.
The problem with the zipper is the two halves. I think the material was so dry rotted from sitting so many years that its just ripping off the seam. If its 25-40 bucks I would be super pleased!
