Default Steam engine problem need help

I have this project I have been working on and off. Today I decided to blow the dust off it. And do a test to determine the engine direction so I can set up the throttle servo. I have tested the engine before it was installed in the boat and it ran fine. This time when I fired her up the flame was burning on top of the stack instead of on the burner almost singing my hair. I tried adjusting the fuel air flow but I am still having this problem.
The engine is a Cheddar Pintail in an Alexandra Steam boat. Does anybody have an Idea whats going wrong here and can give me an answer on how to correct it?
