The need to kick-start oscillators is not unique to Spectre, it is necessary with all simulators. There are two basic approaches that can be used, you can either apply initial conditions to one or both of the resonator components, or you can inject a transient signal into the resonator. With LC oscillators, I would recommend injecting a sinusoidal current into the resonator with a damping factor. Ken has a section in his book on this.
