Indeed it is, 95 wxe250. It's also plated 8-)
I really enjoy working on it, everything fits together so nicely.

:-o :-o sweet piece, I need to get me a mid 90's husky 250, my 00 cr125 and 96 wxe360 get lonely being the only huskies in the garage. Been throwing the idea around at making my 125 a street eater. I have some pictures of the two somewhere i'll share them when I find them
DoldGuy:
S38B38,
The center valve Pins are worn & possibly the barrel valves (the grooves center pins ride in) too. It will take away a lot of top end rev, but if you don't rev the bike, leave as is...you can buy the pins & replace (or remove & invert) but the valves are quite pricey & don't waste your time on a used set, as they are probably worn as much if not more than your current set. One other thing to check is the bushings at the base gasket surface, they need to hold the barrel valves up in the cylinder, if they don't, even new valves will have play.
Hope this helps,
DoldGuy
S38B38:
Thank you for the info, I am going to leave it be for now and do further investigation when
I do a top end.
Finally got the air filter today, just about ready to fire the beast up :-)
I did notice a hairline crack on the Scott's weld on mount, I think the issue was he never cleaned/greased the pin and it would bind. A few seconds with the TIG and it's good to go, you guys with weld on mounts might want to double check
S38B38:
Got her all buttoned up last night, then refueled in about 5 seconds today. 3 priming kicks and one good boot from the top and it lit.
Runs like an absolute beast, my brothers words after riding it "this thing is nuts, just bonkers" :-D
