No need to change the feed motor, just for want of a roller.
As @spaffmonkey is breaking one, so he has some feed motors and roller for grabs.

Hi yes not an issue. Is it just the roller you need or the hole wire feed motor unit?
just the roller....

If the price was right I would take the complete wire feed, then you know it’s going to fit. Any spares are always handy!
A note on wire feeding on the 100E, I had an issue years ago, and even replaced the roller, but it didn't fix it, the idler wouldn't clamp the wire against the roller without it slipping, and on close inspection it was because the idler pivot had pulled away and it was no longer at parallel to the roller axle, which meant the idler was at an angle so wasn't reallycontacting the wire well, a bodge pulled the end of the idler pivot square and it's been fine since.
Not mine actually, my metalwork is never that neat. The picture comes from post #10 in this earlier thread:

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone here is familiar with this machine? I got it FOC, its never worked great tbh. The main attachment for the cord at the machine end was broken, the cord and gun are not the original, it was sort of cobbled together... poorly. The bracket to attach the cord is...

Perhaps SIP suffer more, I haven't had one, but looking at Spaffs pic above, the idler arm looks out of alignment even in the pic, it could be the angle of course, but to me it looks like its out. My liner is also pretty sticky, and I've changed it before, I wonder if its an effect of trying to compensate for a sticky liner by overtightening the wire feed.
