the TAZ seems to work mostly fine but there is a problem where the
filament extruder keeps stopping while it's trying to extrude - like the
filament is too hard for it to push, so the motor doesn't have enough
torque.
the spring tensioners adjustment is not the problem - there is no
adjustment point at which the motor doesn't either slip (and fail to push
the filament) or catches and can't turn.
if you keep hitting Extrude in the printer control program and you help
the filament along it keeps going, but it can't continuously extrude
without help - it goes and then gets stuck again.
I can't figure out what the problem is. This is with the white filament
and the nozzle is at 220 degrees which should be plenty hot.
anyone have any ideas?

Could be shitty variable-diameter filament? Try other filament, otherwise
maybe extruder assembly has worn to where it's slightly out of alignment
somewhere or maybe there is a slight clog in the head?

Time to clean the nozzle? After a while you get burned filament and dust
building up inside the nozzle. Soak in acetone (for PLA) or dichloromethane
(for ABS), and/or burn out any crud with a torch.
