Like RJ said.

It's not a safe practice to rev the engine without a belt in the clutch, the force will slam the clutch sheaves together, possibly resulting in catastrophic failure. The resulting parts and pieces can penetrate shrouds and guards and cause a lot of problems.

The biggest "secrets" to easy-starting 2-strokes are clean carbs, good gas, and appropriate jetting/carb settings. Even if the carb is jetted too rich for this time of year, the sled should still at least start easily. Too rich may not allow you to even move the sled, but at idle it should still run. Check the pilot jet and the air and fuel passages to the pilot jet, you may have some gunk that is interfering with proper operation...
