Nest compatibility with Burnham steam boiler

I had a 50+ year old Peerless steam boiler in my Victorian house. Finally it have up the ghost and I replaced it with a new Burnham steam boiler. The Nest operated the ancient Peerless fine. But it cannot hold in the solenoid for the Burnham which clicks in and out every 1/2 second or so. I replaced the Nest with my very old thermostat which runs the Burnham very well. I have the common wire and the Nest also powers a new Spacepak AC system without trouble. I have had the next since 1st gen and upgraded to 3rd gen and have always been happy. What shall I do?

Not good. I tried everything including about 2 hours on Line to google. Researched all online forums and invested about 6 hours time rewiring etc. tried a isolating relay. Tried two replacement No good. Bought an ecobee. Worked first time. Now moving away from nest.
