One pipe steam question

added a radiator on second story. Boiler seams to be cycling on and off all the time. Could my boiler be too small or is there something I can do to help this problem.My boiler is shaking should this do that.Seems to be working hard . Radiators all heat fine Thanks Erik

Shaking boiler?

Shut that thing down RIGHT NOW and call a steam pro to look at it. There could be many things going wrong inside it, and it could break if it shakes too hard!
