Can you post the TinyCAD file for that one?
I suspect the counter is coming up with odd outputs, there is no reset with the circuit. I'd tempted to connect a .1 uf cap to the supply and reset, and a 10K resistor from the same junction to ground. That would give you a power-on reset. I think if you left it run for a spell, that would all work itself out.
Don't know why you'd need the 100k.
Certainly, here it is.
I will try letting it set for a while and then add the new cap and resistor and see what happens.
It was a couple of years ago I was fiddling with this and I have no idea what the 100k was there for? I don't remember the two N/S LEDs on start up either, it was all working before, or so I was thinking?
