Breakerless or points
I have a 2003 trike. The engine serial number is 4405637. Does this engine have points in the mags or is it breakerless?

2 or 4 spark plugs ?

It's a 912. 2 plugs per cylinder - 8 total.

Per the 912 Operators Manual at: https://www.rotax-owner.com/pdf/OM_912_Series_ED4_R0.pdf
7.4) Electric system: The ROTAX® 912 engine is equipped with a dual ignition unit of a breakeless, capacitor discharge design, with an integrated generator. The ignition unit needs no external power supply. Charging coils: Two independent charging coils located on the generator stator supply one ignition circuit each. The energy is stored in capacitors of the electronic modules. At the moment of ignition 2 each of the 4 external trigger coils actuate the discharge of the capacitors via the primary circuit of the dual ignition coils.
There are no "points" in this system.

CDI ignition. Even though the term mags gets tossed around a lot they aren't magnetos like in some other types of engines.

Thanks for the replies. I just wondered due to the age of the engine. I knew all the later ones were breakerless.
