The tension of that hairspring should be just enough to return the gears back to the initial position. It doesn't have much to do with the timing, witch is mostly adjusted by the slight repositioning of the escapement itself inside the shutter.

All the repair manuals generallly don't recommend any repair attempts on these small escapements, but if you succeed soldering the spring together, try gradually increasing the tension, until the gears start returning reliably.

About repairing that spring: maybe a search in some wachmakers forum will give you a better answer?
