freds,
One possibility is that you simply don't have enough drive. It is much easier to push cold filament into an empty barrel than it is once the molten plug has formed. As the insulator warms the transition zone becomes longer and more force is required.
You probably need more spring tension.
As you know I have been doing a lot of work on this and will be blogging some more results in the next couple of days.
