Gas heat

Has anyone ever heard of this. Been having problem with heat on gas. Turn on it runs 3-5 seconds and cuts off. Was told sail switch issue. Removed sail switch if held in hand it runs fine. Install does the same thing. Had technician out said bad sail switch replace same thing. Technician back out said motor problem not pushing enough air to close sail switch. Ordered motor different technician comes runs a check says it’s not the motor. Problem he says is someone changed the squirrel cage on the motor and replaced with wrong one. Says it’s too short therefore air is not hitting the sail to engage the switch. You can put your finger in the hole where the sail switch goes and fill the top of the cage. When sail is installed it is above the gage. So it makes sense to me. Anyone ever heard of this?
