model steam engine question

Got a Stuart vertical engine, model 10v, piped up to a PM Research
boiler. The engine runs great 5lbs of air but will not run on steam.
Good dry steam comes out the exhaust but will not run.
Opened up the steam chest and nothing blocking the ports.
Any ideas, suggestions or tips?

Thanks
Jim
