I have a project with 4 counters 2 for seconds and 2 for minutes ... i used simple 555 ct. as a clk
used no gates , just counters .. every thing is cool in counting
only problem is first count is 8 x( ..
like
88 88
88 89
88 90
.
.
.
00 00
00 01
then continues perfectly
I tried protus simulator and my design started counting from 0
i hope i get some advice and thanks in advance

hi,
You need to apply a power up, HIGH going reset pulse to pins 6,7 & 2,3 of the 74ls90.

Edit: corrected pulse sense.!
