You have to enable the OUTPUT in some register, look in the data sheet.
I only found an example for a different timer/pin
void startTransducer()
{
TCCR2A = _BV(COM2A0) | _BV(WGM21) | _BV(WGM20);
TCCR2B = _BV(WGM22) | _BV(CS20);
OCR2A = B11000111; // 199, so timer2 counts from 0 to 199 (200 cycles at 16 MHz)
}
Setting the COM2Ax bits (Compare Output Mode bits) to 01 sets timer/counter2
to toggle OC2A (i.e., Arduino digital pin 11) from high to low when the counter matches
the 8-bit value stored in OCR2A (Output Compare Register A on Counter/Timer 2).
