Default furnace squirrel cage only turns if I use hand

It might have a internal cintrifugal starter switch inside
the motor, simple to replace, or a capacitor on the outside
that needs to be replaced.

My furnace fires up but the blower has stopped coming on (it's a Bryant
330AAV upflow). I can barely spin the squirrel cage with my hand, and
it will not spin on it's own after I pull my hand out. It makes a low
hmmm sound, but just doesn't start turning, then the gas shuts off.
I'm assuming I need a repair person to replace the blower, but I'd
appreciate any comments if there are other things I should consider.
Please give any advice on what else to check. Thanks, Mike
