Assuming your gears were poorly shimmed before, then yes.
Buy a motor with neo magnets, problem solved.

And sorry ozzy, I though you meant it was firing two semi auto shots, seeing as the context here is cycle overlap.
cycle overlap is when your gun completes another partial forward cycle after the piston has been released. It's caused by too much momentum or not enough resistance in the system. Either having a weak-magnet motor, or very heavy gears, or simply by having a 9.6v or large battery.
Your problem was the cycle reversing after you had fired a shot, totally different problem.
