Howard sent you the light switch info.
The starter button is held with 2 nuts on the back, on the '40, the screws have square heads that nestle in square indentations behind the cover plate on the shell. To get the cover plate off, you have to get the light switch, the cigar lighter and hand throttle off.
\Disocnnect the wires to the cugar lighter and (battery off) twist the inside of the lighter which unscrews from its housing. See pic.
The ignition is the same as the starter button.
The handtrottle unscrews like the light switch, so you can remove the cover plate part way. To pull the dash and cover plate, as mentioned, you have to release the end of the hand throttle cable on the firewall engine compartment.
