The Tutoro sounds like a good unit. Years ago, I imported and used one of the first Scottoilers in the US and was quite impressed with it's ease of use, being vacuum actuated. The reservoir was good for 2 or 3 tanks of fuel and was probably 25 ml or so. I used a quality non o-ring (low friction) racing chain that was actually cheaper than a cheap o-ring chain. With the oiler properly set up, chain wear measured by strech rate was quite literally 1/4 the rate of the previous o-ring chain. This was using cheap 10w40 motor oil. Money in the bank if you plan to keep your ride for a number of miles.

When your carbs were redone, ensure they used an exhaust gas analyzer and a dyno to jet it properly. Installing a pre-made jet kit is usually intended to correct for aftermarket exhaust, intake, etc and does not accurately tune the fixed orifices for maximum fuel economy. It may run stronger but that is due to making some circuits overly richer than needed for maximum economy. Carbies are actually pretty complicated in thier operation and it takes a good specialist to really get them right, all others get them "good enough" and it's very easy to err on making them too rich, wasting fuel.
