I dont really now at all what it could be but I am thinking it could be to pressurise the tank. Does your gas tank have a pressurised gas cap. If it doesnt that is then probably to pressurise it.

Sounds like someone has Rigged a switch of some sort on there!, take a pic and lets see, i know my ATC200 same year didnt have a switch there.

Please also trace the wires and tell us what they are connected to... If it stays actuated when you press it and it is wired to the electrical system then it is most likely an add on kill switch, for theft prevention.
