problem fixed, this guy over at arnies at the same experience and this was his post for future reference:

"Okay.. I guess that settles it. There's nothing wrong with the cut-off lever. The problem is with the trigger pull - you're feathering it.

With a real gun, the trigger sear will release the hammer, and fire the gun, the same way regardless of the trigger pull. Real gun shooters feather the trigger so as not to jerk the gun and spoil the aim.

AEG triggering works differently. If you feather the trigger, the switch slide moves just enough to make contact with the contact prongs (sending power to the motor and cycle the piston).. BUT not forward enough for the cut-off lever to disengage it. The AEG will keep firing until the vibration makes you do pull the trigger all the way or let it go.

The most immediate solution.. is to change your triggering habit. Always pull the trigger all the way.

As already mentioned, another solution is to spread the contact prongs wider apart so that it the switch slide has to go all the way forward (which, just the same, requires the shooter to pull the trigger all the way) before making contact.

That's it."
