1930 standard eight Roadster 733 - start up problem.

I have a 1930 Packard 7-33 Standard Eight Roadster, which has been garaged for 11 months. I have just changed the oil, put in fresh fuel & fitted a brand new battery and it started first time and purred like a kitten. However, within 5 minutes of it turning over, the engine cut out and now won’t restart!. I think it maybe fuel related but fuel is getting through the vac tank and down to the carburettor okay. I’ll have the carburettor serviced just incase that’s the problem but, as a novice ‘have a go man with all the gear but no idea’, any pointers or advice from you professionals would be very welcome. Many thanks.
