Extruder Idler Clicking

I am having an issue with my MK3S Idlers clicking after about an hour of printing. Print is looking good but I have to push down on Filament to get the clicking to stop. I tightened the Idler door tension and appears to be OK. Gears also appears to be aligned. Any suggestions on other things to try?

Needs an increase idler tension;  twists in filament; nozzle has cooked filament inside reducing orifice size and heating efficiency (use cleaning filament to remove the bad stuff); extruding more filament than the hot end can actually extrude (volumetric flow limit); etc.

Thanks @tim-m30.

As you have suggested I have ordered some cleaning filament and tightened the idler spring. I'm running some my beloved Prusament though for a few prints to confirm all is working. I'll let you know how it goes.
