There are a couple of items that can be causing this
If it is a bowden extruder try squirting some light oil in the bowden extruder to help eleviate some of the friction.
Also clean out the nozzle as sometimes there are some small chunks in the nozzle that block the filament from extruding smoothly
Check the actual filament drive as I have had issues where there was a string that was wedging against the filament and causing inconsistant extrusion The extruder is too cold. When going up in nozzle size you may have to increase the temperature for the highter volume. Try 10 or 15 degrees higher and see if it helps
