Could you use the pipe that is a little bit too big, but wrap something around the motor? Like maybe some electrical tape, making a few revolutions until it fits snugly, making sure start and finish the wrap in the same place?

Yeah, I've done with that some masking tape. It works okay but I'm concerned with the tape eventually slipping and the pipe falling off. Also, it appears the piece of pipe I bought isn't formed quite exactly symmetrical and it wobbles a bit too. It's noticeable even just rolling the pipe on the counter. I could probably live with it if I had to but I'm still looking for a better solution.

Did you look at different pipes too? PVC, ABS, Conduit, PVC Conduit, Copper, Galvenized, Fence Poles :). I'm guessing you needed something heavier so you went galvenized
I'm just curious as I'm guessing most of those have a different ID.
How much of the pipe fits over the motor?
If it's really close, maybe you could get the smaller size and hook up the piece to a drill with some bushings and spin it while sanding the inside with a file to make it small enough. The spinning will help keep the sanding symentrical.
