Let G(r) denote the metaplectic covering group of the linear algebraic group G. In this paper we study conditions on unramified representations of the group G(r) not to have a nonzero Whittaker function. We state a general Conjecture about the possible unramified characters χ such that the unramified sub-representation of IndB(r)^G(r)χδB1/2 will have no nonzero Whittaker function. We prove this Conjecture for the groups GLn(r) with r≥ n-1, and for the exceptional groups G2(r) when r≠ 2.
