Esordio agonistico delle moto Malanca
Le moto Malanca fanno il loro esordio in campo agonistico con i piloti Otello Buscherini e Walter Villa. La ditta, fondata in via della Crocetta da Mario Malanca, ex dipendente Ducati, produce dal 1947 componenti di moto e dal 1956 ciclomotori completi, esportati in tutto il mondo.
Tra il 1968 e il 1973 le moto Malanca conquisteranno sei campionati italiani nelle classi 50 e 60 cc. Nel 1973 sarà messa a punto una moto da 125 cc bicilindrica raffreddata ad acqua, che parteciperà al Campionato del Mondo di Velocità, vincendo con Buscherini i gran premi di Cecoslovacchia e di Finlandia.
Trasferita a Pontecchio Marconi, l'azienda chiuderà la sua attività nel 1986, dopo essersi affacciata anche al campionato mondiale della classe 250 cc con il pilota Stefano Caracchi.

A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured: 1956-86
During WWII Mario Malanca served with the Italian Air Force and subsequently worked with Ducati. In 1947 he began producing mechanical parts and hubs for motorcycle wheels at a workshop he established in via della Crocetta, Bologna, and built his first production motorcycles in 1956. Over the following years sales accelerated with markets first in Italy and then in Asia and the United States. In 1960 in a new factory was built to cope with the burgeoning sales, and among other models produced two scooters, the Vispetta (1962) and the Super Vis (1963-1969). The firm also introduced models powered by 49cc Franco Morini engines, the Nicky moped and the Comfort 3M.
In 1968 the Malanca company made their racing debut with two famous riders, Walter Villa and Otello Buscherini.
In five years the Malanca team won six championships in the 50cc and 60cc classes, and Buscherini won two rounds of the 125cc GP.
A 125cc two-stroke twin was introduced at the 1973 Paris Salon, and by 1976 the range included 125cc models E2C Tourist and Sport, and a 150cc E2C. For the 1977 season the 150 range was named GT, and included over the following years the GT Strada, 3 GTS, 3GT Strada, and the very attractive 150 3 GTI. Also in the lineup were a variety of minibikes including the Malanca Minizeta KT of 1977.
In 1978 Mario's son Marco stepped up as CEO of the company, now named Malanca Motors SpA. Production focused on 125cc sports models popular with road racing enthusiasts.
The factory moved to a new facility in via Pila 6 in Pontecchio Marconi in 1979. That year saw the introduction of the GTI-125, followed in 1980 by the GTI-80. Watercooled versions of the 125cc models appeared, the OB One - named not for the Star Wars character but for one of their riders, Otello Buscherini, who had died during a GP race at Mugello in 1976.
1985 saw the factory team compete in the 250 GP with Stefano Caracchi in the saddle.
In 1986 the company folded, ending the Malanca brand.

how do you get these things to work?
malanca tigrotto
We (my auto class and I) fixed the compression so that it's really good and we we tested the spark, applied gass, oil, all that and the wire thing for the handle bar thing you're supposed to hold onto when you peddle is tight enough but we
just can't get it to run. My teacher said that it's obviously trying to start (I can tell by the noice it makes) but we can't figure out why it won't start. Is there possibly some way your supposed to do it to get it started or do you
know of anything else that could be stopping it from starting. I don't know much about vehicles and I'm only 16 but whatever you could tell me I could pass on to my auto teacher. thanks.

Impossible to diagnose problem from information supplied. Is the fuel fresh? Is the sparkplug clean? Does it have good spark?

Year
I receiced a malamca moped today. I'd like to find the year of it. The numbers on the tag are MSC 38967 and DGM 53620M and what do these stand for.
This is the only picture I have of it. The signal lights are not original, they have been added and I'm not sure if the headlight bezel is original either. There is a small step plate missing above the motor next to the peddle, you can see the two blue mounting brackets for it. There is a step plate on the other side. Someone started to restore this unit a new years ago but didn't finish it. It is suppose to run but haven't had time to drain the old gas and clean the carb yet. Do you know what the fuel mixture is for this bike? I was told yesterday on the bottom side of the gas cap there is a cup; which there is and this cup is a messurement for oil to one tank of gas. Do you know if this is true? I peddled it down the driveway a bit yesterday and was amazed at how easy this thing is to peddle along. I always figured it would be a little harder than a regular bike
Thanks so much for responding to my e-mail and for any help you can give me.
